Yesterday on March 30, at approximately 3:09 p.m., Officers of the Grand Forks Police Department were dispatched to the 100 block of Conklin Ave. for a report of a male subject that had been stabbed in the shoulder. Responding officers found a male subject with lacerations to his neck and hand.
Initial investigation revealed that the daughter and suspect, identified as 56-year-old Ceanne Reese of Grand Forks, and the father and victim, 82-year-old Hugh Reese, had a verbal argument over a phone. Reese then grabbed a knife and stabbed her father before turning the knife on herself and inflicting a laceration.
Both the suspect and victim were still on the scene when officers arrived. Both individuals were transported to Altru Emergency Room for medical treatment. Ceanne was treated and ultimately confined at the Grand Forks County Correctional Center on charges of Attempted Murder. Hugh was treated and is in stable condition.
