Central California Teen Stabs, Kills Man Attacking His Mother

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say a 16-year-old boy has stabbed and killed a man who attacked his mother at their Central California mobile home.

The Fresno Police Department says the woman's former boyfriend entered the home on Friday and attacked her. The man died at a hospital after the altercation.

His name hasn't been released but police say the 46-year-old had recently been released from prison, where he served time for badly beating the woman.

She told police that he came to the home earlier this month with a large hunting knife and threatened her, then returned again Friday.

The boy wasn't arrested but an investigation continues.
