PASADENA - A man who jumped from the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena this morning was the prime suspect in the fatal stabbing of his wife and mother-in-law in Tujunga earlier, police said.

The women were stabbed at about 8:45 a.m. at a home in the 6800 block of Quinton Lane, Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman April Harding said.

Police went to the home at about 8:45 a.m. after receiving a report of domestic violence, she said. Officers found the mother-in-law dead and her daughter suffering stab wounds.

The injured woman was taken to a hospital where she later died, she said.

At about 9:07 a.m., the Pasadena Police Department received a 9-1-1 call of a man standing atop the Colorado Street Bridge. An officer arrived about a minute later and found the man standing on the outside railing.

The officer tried to talk to the man, "but he let go," falling about 150 feet to his death, Pasadena police spokeswoman Janet Pope Givens said.
