<p>SANFORD, Fla. — A Florida man stabbed his parents and sister with a samurai sword early Wednesday morning, police said. </p>
<p>Gary Dwain St. Aubyn Campbell, 59, was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted first-degree homicide and one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, news outlets reported.</p>
<p>When 911 dispatchers received a request for medical assistance at a Sanford home around 1:30 a.m., the caller — later identified as Campbell — didn’t provide details about what happened, according to an affidavit <a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-ne-sword-attack-sanford-family-20210429-25lxfunjenas7fsncdtxxbsaky-story.html">obtained by the Orlando Sentinel</a>. </p>
<p>He only said, “when they get here they will find out.”</p>
<p>Police found Campbell pacing outside when they arrived. His three family members were suffering from severe stab wounds inside the home and were transported to a hospital, according to officials. Two were in critical condition.</p>
<p>The affidavit said Campbell first attacked his father in the living room and then went after his mother in a bedroom. His sister said she tried to intervene but couldn’t.</p>
<p>Investigators said Campbell admitted to stabbing his family members, telling detectives that “physical abuse as a child and constant questioning and nagging as an adult” prompted “rage.”</p>
<p>He is being held at the Seminole County Jail without bond. An attorney who could comment on the charges is not listed in court records, according to the Orlando Sentinel. </p>
