Our news department caught up with Steuben County District Attorney Brooks Baker this morning, about the stabbing on Route 56 In Howard, in the midnight hour, Sunday morning. “What we know right now,” Baker told Brian O’Neil this morning, “is that three people were injured in that bad situation in Howard, early Sunday morning. There are a lot of witnesses to be interviewed, it is a difficult investigation. The biggest issue slowing things down right now, is that the three people who were involved in the stabbing situtation, were all injured at different levels, and had to be treated at area hospitals. We have to interview them before we can go forward with the case. Obviously they cannot speak to law enforcement until they are healthy enough to do so, and we’re hopeful this will happen soon. Additionally, we’re also seeking evidence regarding medical records, about the injuries. Obviously, the investigation is ongoing, and State Police are dedicating tremendous resources to this case, and I’m sure we’ll have answers very soon,” Baker said.
