Just before 2 a.m. this morning, Caldwell Police officers were called to a home in the 3100 block of College Avenue for a "disturbance". When they arrived, they heard a woman screaming.

The officers on scene broke open the door and found the 42-year-old woman bleeding from several wounds. The woman told officers learned that her 17-year-old son, who was still in the home, stabbed her with a knife.

The 17-year-old was charged with attempted murder, and is in custody at the Canyon County Jail. The victim is being treated at a Boise hospital.
