Wilmington man stabs wife, two daughters**
**Updates with correct name of suspect
A Wilmington man stabbed his wife and two stepdaughters Sunday when they returned home from church, police said Monday.
Willliam Velazquez, 44, was arrested about 8:30 p.m. at his home in the 1000 block of East O Street, Los Angeles police Officer Norma Eisenman said.
Velazquez was home drinking while his family was at church. When they returned, he stabbed his wife for an unknown reason, and the stepdaughters when they intervened for unknown reasons, Eisenman said.
The wife's brother also was home and tried to help. Velazquez lunged at him, but he was able to avoid injury and ran and called 911.
Police arrived and arrested Velazquez, who could face four counts of attempted murder.
The wife and the daughters, ages 18 and 12, were taken to hospitals. They were expected to recover.
