Authorities say a Florida teen fatally stabbed a man who forced his way into a home and attacked the teen's mother.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that the break-in occurred early Tuesday in a Tampa neighborhood.
Police say Gerald Lee Gay, 34, who had a child with a woman who lived at the home, kicked in the door shortly after midnight. Police say Gay then attacked the woman while her three children — ages 12, 13, and 18 — tried to restrain him.
Investigators say one of the teens grabbed a steak knife and stabbed Gay several times. He later died at a nearby hospital.
The family was cooperating with police, and no arrests were immediately made. Police weren't saying which teen stabbed Gay or the genders of the children.
