Gunzenhausen (dpa / lby) - A 78-year-old was fatally injured in an argument with her son in Middle Franconia. The 52-year-old son was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. A police spokesman said the two would have seriously injured each other with sharp objects - probably knives. The mother succumbed to her injuries on the spot in Gunzenhausen (Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen district),
Exact details of what happened on Monday afternoon in a single-family home were not initially available. However, the police assumed that the son and mother got into an argument and this escalated. A neighbor to whom the son had gone after the argument dialed the emergency number.
It was initially unclear what the dispute was about. At the time of the argument, the two were alone in the house, which the police said they probably occupied as a couple.
