A man was arrested for injuring his son with a box cutter Tuesday morning in the Mid-City area of San Diego, according to the San Diego Police Department (SDPD).

The incident took place around 11:46 a.m. on the 4800 block of Auburn Drive near University Avenue.

SDPD says the 37-year old father got into an argument with his 22-year old son, produced a box cutter and cut his son. The victim was cut on top of his head, right bicep, his back and a 6-inch cut to his ear.

He was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The father was arrested and booked into jail.

According to police, the father and son were arguing about a crime the son may have been involved in earlier.

SDPD is asking anyone with information regarding the incident to contact them or Crime Stoppers at (888)580-8477.

Putting up Christmas lights before Thanksgiving?

It’s a hot topic for internet forums and neighborhood gossip. Some say holiday lights before December is too early, while others say it's fine.

“No, for us it’s before Thanksgiving," said San Diego resident Sacha Adam.

That’s why he had holiday lights and decorations installed on his home the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. It turns out, Adam is not alone.

“Our phones are ringing off the hook and we’re trying to fit as many customers in as we can,” said Matthew Rall, owner of Christmas Light Pros.

Rall said business started getting busy in October and hasn’t slowed down. By December 25th, he expects to do over 300 installations in San Diego County.

“Most of the customers that call us don’t want to get up on ladders, they want someone else to take the risk. They also want something festive and are getting in the spirit. Most of our customers were calling us the beginning of October and November to get an installation date set,” said Rall.

For homeowners that do have their holiday lights up before Thanksgiving, it’s easy for them to shift from one holiday to another, just eat turkey and stuffing, then hit the switch and boom--holiday lights are shinning bright.

Adam says his family is ready to light up the house.

“Lights are always super exciting, so any time there are lights outside, especially at night, it’s awesome. We can’t wait.”

U.N. human rights officials, whose boss famously likened U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to ISIS, are reported to be gearing up for a four- or even eight-year battle with the new administration over Trump's "ghastly campaign pledges," NBC News reports.

With Trump now elected president, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, has spread the word to the U.N. human rights office that it will have to lead international opposition to the United States, U.N. officials told the respected journal Foreign Policy.

"We are going to speak up," Foreign Policy quoted one of the officials as saying in an article published Tuesday. "It'll be rough, but if [Trump] puts any of those ghastly campaign pledges into action, we will condemn."

This is not the first time Ra'ad al-Hussein spoke out against Trump. "If Donald Trump is elected, on the basis of what he has said already, and unless that changes, I think it's without any doubt that he would be dangerous from an international point of view," he said in October.

One person was stabbed in the Barrio Logan neighborhood of San Diego on Tuesday night.

According to San Diego Police (SDPD), the stabbing occurred around 9:34 p.m. on the 2000 block of National Avenue near Chicano Park.

The victim showed up a market with a stab wound to the neck and head area A knife and clothes were found on the street, police said. The injuries are considered to be non-life threatening.

Police say the incident may have occurred after a fight between several people.

The victim is not cooperating with officers.

No other information was immediately available.

When the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade steps off Thursday morning, a balloon dubbed Trixie the Dog will bounce above a crowd of 3.5 million wide-eyed New Yorkers and tourists. 

On the jammed streets down below, eight real dogs will be hard at work keeping the crowds safe by using their ultra-sensitive noses to sniff out the merest whiff of explosives, NBC News reports. 

They're called "vapor wake" dogs and they are a key part of the NYPD's sweeping plan to make sure the worst thing that happens on Thanksgiving is an overcooked turkey.

Also, for the first time, every cross street along the parade route will be blocked off, extra insurance that a vehicle cannot be used to attack the crowds as in the deadly July assault in Nice, France. Eighty-three sanitation trucks filled with as much as 16 tons of sand will serve as barriers, police said.

Officers were responding to reports of multiple gunshots in Chula Vista Tuesday night.

According to the Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD), the shooting happened at approximately 10:27 p.m. on Church Avenue and Kearny Street.

Two people were shot and transported to the hospital, police said. The extent of their injuries is unknown.

A police helicopter was in the area, assisting in an active search for two felony suspects.

No other information was immediately available.

San Diego police and emergency officials are using naloxone more than ever before local data shows.

The drug, also known by the brand name Narcan, counteracts the effects of heroin and other opioids.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, between 2002-2014, the rate of heroin-related overdose deaths more than quadrupled in the United States. There were more than 10,000 deaths in 2014 alone.

Maria Alexander, moved to Southern California to go to college. On her 21st birthday, she says she decided to try heroin for the first time.

“I had no experience with it; I knew no one that did it and the downfall wasn’t immediate,” Alexander said. “It was fun for a minute, but then it took me down a dark path.”

Alexander says she used heroin on and off for the next 20 years.

“I have overdosed five times requiring the paramedics to administer naloxone,” she said.

She recalls the last incident.

“I was in a car with some people and they threw me out in the alley behind an apartment building.”

Collapsed on the floor, the heroin she injected and pills she swallowed were about to kill her. But her life was spared that day, because a paramedic injected her with naloxone.

“I just woke up to the police and the paramedics yelling and screaming, they were really upset,” Alexander said.

Data obtained by NBC 7 Investigates shows Alexander isn't alone.

In 2012, in the city of San Diego alone, paramedics administered naloxone on 353 people, according to data provided to NBC 7 Investigates from the city. Every year since, that number has climbed. Last year paramedics used it 1,340 times. So far in 2016, it’s been used 1,123 times.

This data only reflects what is reported to the city and county officials by local hospitals. Next year, reports are expected to come directly from paramedics.

From August 2014 to August 2015, a dozen people were administered naloxone multiple times. In some cases, five times or more in one year. The data shows two men were each saved by naloxone 11 times in that one year period.

“Clearly you would rather not have to reverse someone from an overdose just to go back and do it again,” said Jim Dunford, San Diego's EMS Medical Director.

An advocate for naloxone, he said it's been used in the City of San Diego for 25 to 30 years. Once only available as an injection, it can now be administered as a nasal spray.

Now, it's not just paramedics, first responders and law enforcement that carry it; so do everyday citizens.

Dr.Dunford said: “As much as possible, this is now being provided to families and significant others.”

This month, San Diego hosted the International Harm Reduction Conference. Part of the conference included training where mothers from around the world learned how to obtain and use naloxone.

Shawn Norton, a mother from La Mesa was at the conference. She runs the La Mesa chapter of (GRASP) Grief After a Substance Passing. 

She told NBC 7 Investigates, “I didn't know about naloxone. At the time we couldn't carry it in our homes and I lived in fear every day.”

It's something Norton said she wish she would have had in 2005 when her daughter overdosed, again in 2009 when her mother overdosed and this past August, when her cousin overdosed on heroin.

“If you have asthma, you take an asthma inhaler,” she said. “If you have an allergy you carry an Epipen. People around you know how to do it. Naloxone should be the same way.”

While recovering addicts and their family members advocate for naloxone's use, there are concerns drug abusers are viewing it as a safety net.

Something Alexander says she disagrees with.

“I have wondered myself,” she said, “So I went around and asked everyone that I knew that had used heroin. ‘Did you use more, when you heard about naloxone? And everyone said, ‘what are you talking about? Like that's the farthest thing from our minds. Oh let’s use more because there’s naloxone.’”

During her years using heroin, Alexander says she lost custody of her two children. In 2002, she says she entered residential rehab and got clean for good. She also got her kids back.

She has been sober for nearly 15 years and is now the Executive Director for Center for Living and Learning in Los Angeles. 

“Tell my kids I wasn't worth saving because they would beg to differ,” she said. “No life is not worth saving.”

In California, any doctor can write a prescription for Naloxone. A bill passed last year makes it possible for people to buy the antidote from some pharmacies. Customers who purchase it, in-store are required to receive a brief training on how to use it.

A two-month old baby abducted by his mother under the care of a Child Welfare Services employee this month is back in the care of the agency, the San Diego County confirmed with NBC 7 on Monday.

After questioning county officials about what went wrong, NBC 7 learned the agency does not have any specific procedure in place for when a child is taken.

Maximus Garcia was kidnapped on Nov. 8 by his 36-year old mother, Erika Ramos Saucedo. She did not have custody to her son and was visiting him for a supervised visit at the South Bay Womens Recovery Center in National City.

But the county worker overseeing the visit left Saucedo alone with Maximus, who took her son and fled to Mexico.

According to the county, social worker Monica Bodilla was assigned to oversee the supervised visit with Saucedo but a different employee took Maximus, breaking protocol.

National City Police (NCPD) said it took the worker about two hours to contact authorities after Maximus went missing. According to the county, the worker did "what any reasonable person may do" and contacted relatives, a supervisor and then law enforcement.

But the baby's father, Jose Garcia believes if the worker had contacted law enforcement right away, his son would not been taken to Mexico.

"I don't wish this upon nobody in the world," Garcia said.

A county spokesman told NBC 7 that this incident was not a result of workers handling too many cases, adding that child welfare cases have decreased in recent years. He said all social workers take 20 hours of training a year, which includes online courses covering visitation.

Maximus was found after a three-day search and placed in a foster home in Mazatlán, Mexico. He was later brought to Rady Childrens Hospital for treatment.

The county spokesman said the incident was not a result of social workers handling too many cases. In fact, he said, child welfare cases have decreased in recent years.

He added all social workers take 20 hours of training a year, which includes online courses on visitation.

Garcia said since he does't have custody of his son, he isn't being updated on Maximus' condition. 

Two employees were placed on administrative leave as county continues to investigate the incident. 

Saucedo also reached out to NBC 7 from Mexico, saying she wanted to apologize for her actions. She said she wants to return to the U.S. sometime later in the week.

The slopes are primed for opening season at Big Bear on Friday.

A November blanketed the resort with snow just in time for the beginning of the ski and snowboarding season. Two chairs, No. 7 and 9, will be running on opening day.

The ski lifts will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Officials say the roads to the Big Bear resort have been cleared by snow plows for drivers to make their way up to the mountain.

A Rancho Bernardo man contacted NBC 7 Responds after he said his roof was leaking where his solar panels were installed; the company that installed those panels was not returning his calls. 

Mark Huettinger is all about alternative energy, from his electric cars to the solar panels on his roof. 

“I think every home that’s built in San Diego should have a 2-3 kilowatt system,” Mark said. 

But Mark thought the solar panels were causing problems inside his home. 

“The leak was in the roof and I’ve got one bedroom that has a big stain on the ceiling,” he said. 

Mark suspected the solar panel installation nine years ago was causing water to seep into his home, so Mark called Borrego Solar, the company that did the original installation. 

“I called for three or four weeks and kept doing that; finally I got an email from somebody saying sorry it took so long for me to get back and then I never heard anything for another week,” Mark said. 

When Mark did talk to someone, he said nothing changed. So his wife suggested he call NBC 7 Responds. 

Within days, a Borrego Solar employee contacted Mark and made it clear that they would get to the bottom of the leak. 

“He said ‘it doesn’t matter what else is going on, I’m going to remove your panels at no charge and get them put back at no charge, even if it’s not our fault,’” Mark said. 

Borrego Solar officials told NBC 7 Responds the company got out of the residential solar business years ago and which is part of the reason no one had gotten back to Mark. The company explained the problem came out of company reorganization and Mark’s calls were simply not being relayed to them. 

“No matter what, we were a part of the install and we’re definitely going to be a part of fixing anything that happens,” Borrego Solar Employee David Marks said. 

Borrego Solar took off the panels and inspected the roof, to determine the damage. 

“They took off one tile and said you’ve got a really big problem here,” Mark said. 

Borrego Solar told Mark the solar panels were put on incorrectly the first time so the company offered to make it right. 

Mark only had to pay one subcontractor $400, but he says the value of the entire work done by Borrego Solar was probably worth more than $12,000. 

“They really stepped up and took care of it,” Mark said. 

Borrego Solar said they were sorry for the way Mark was treated at first and made an exception to their own warranty to fix Mark’s roof.

Romano’s Jewelers owner Ramil Abalkhad pleaded guilty to multiple felony charges of identity theft associated with a 2012 U.S Marine Corps criminal investigation detailed in documents NBC 7 Investigates obtained under the federal Freedom of Information Act.

The charges include: conspiracy to commit identity theft, identity theft with intent to defraud and theft by false pretenses, according to San Diego Deputy District Attorney Gina Darvas.

Abalkhad originally pleaded not guilty with the case scheduled to go to trial early next year. Tuesday in a Vista courtroom, Abalkhad changed that plea and admitted guilt.

According to Darvas, Abalkhad must pay $55,000 in restitution to at least 70 victims and write a letter to credit report companies stating the wrongdoing was his, and not the fault of military men and women. The letter, Darvas said, is meant to help alleviate blame from the victims.

Click here to read the letter Darvas said Abalkhad will send.

Darvas told NBC 7 Investigates most of the victims were young.

"Most of them were 18, 19-years-old, first time they'd ever been out of the house, out on their own," she said. "It was their first experience ever with retail credit, so they were pretty young and vulnerable victims."

According to the original criminal complaint, between 2010 and 2012, Abalkhad instructed jewelry store manager Carlos Torres and employee Nellie Cha Noland to obtain the personal financial information of Marine customers and then add unauthorized charges on their store credit accounts.

Torres and Noland pleaded guilty in the case earlier this year and agreed to be a cooperating witness against Abalkhad.

Abalkhad, Noland and Torres will be sentenced February 27, 2017, Darvas said. 

According to Darvas, if Abalkhad pays the $55,000 in restitution payments before his sentencing he will receive probation with terms to be determined by the judge. If Abalkhad fails to pay the restitution before sentencing, he will be sentenced to three years in a local prison, according to Darvas.

After court Tuesday, Abalkhad did not comment to NBC 7 Investigates about the charges.

According to the original 2012 Marine Corps investigation, a Marine at the time provided personal financial information belonging to military members to the jewelry store in exchange for money, jewelry and a clean balance on his Romano’s store credit account.

Active military members have an account called Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS) MyPay. It is similar to a bank account and can be directly connected to other financial or loan accounts allowing the military member to have money withdrawn from the account to pay bills. Those automatic pay deduction to pay off loans are called allotments.

According to the complaint, the Romano’s employees would provide the former marine, Kymani Tate, with Social Security Numbers of military members who had store credit accounts with Romano’s. Tate would then find the corresponding DFAS MyPay accounts associated with those numbers and reset the passwords or pins. With the new pins, the Romano’s employees could gain access to the MyPay accounts and add unauthorized charges.

Abalkhad told Noland she would receive $10 for each MyPay account password she was able to reset, according to the complaint.

Noland then made a deal with Tate. According to the complaint, she offered to pay Tate $25 to reset MyPay account passwords on the accounts of active duty military members who were customers.

The complaint alleges how the employees and Tate would communicate through emails to exchange the personal information.

Tate was dishonorably discharged from the Marine Corps. When NBC 7 Investigates reached out to Tate last year, he sent the following statement: “I would only like to say I am deeply apologetic to the Marines and sailors who have been hurt by this. I never meant for anything so wrong to happen. Tell Marines to be careful who they give info to. Stores like Romano's target Marines. I just want to apologize to everyone involved and my chain of command. I paid my debt to the Corps and lost my dream career. I do however have remorse for Marines and sailors that got unknowingly involved."

NBC 7 Investigates first began looking at Romano’s business practices in November 2014.

After receiving numerous reports from military members nationwide that Romano’s Jewelers took advantage of them, NBC 7 Investigates looked into U.S. Marine Jacob Helmuth’s purchase of a necklace. Romano’s Jewelers calls it the “Mother’s Medal of Honor.”

The price tag of more than $2,300 for the necklace and a watch raised a red flag. After sifting through purchase details, NBC 7 Investigates discovered there wasn’t much of a paper trail.

“They didn’t show me the percentage rate,” Helmuth told Nguyen. He was referring to the 29.9 percent interest rate included in his payment plan.

As a result of the NBC 7 Investigates story, the U.S. Navy warned all its sailors in the San Diego region about the company.

Several Romano’s Jewelers locations across Southern California, including three in San Diego County, closed or were in the process of shutting down last year, according to the business’ Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee. Four stores in the Los Angeles area are still opened, according to the company’s website. 

An acoustic surveillance technology that gathers real-time data on gunshots will be implemented and tested in San Diego beginning Tuesday, according to the San Diego Police Department (SDPD).

SDPD released a statement confirming that ShotSpotter will do live fire testing.

ShotSpotter tracks gunshots and then alerts authorities of where the shots are coming from in real time. The information is relayed in 20 to 45 seconds after a gun is discharged.

According to NBC 7 Investigates, the system using acoustic sensors placed on building rooftops, street lights, light poles and cell towers to capture the data.

Last month, NBC 7 Investigates learned the program had been given the green light.

With the assistance of SDPD, the system will track 36 shots at different locations and times, including Valencia Park, Skyline, O'Farrell and Lincoln Park neighborhoods.

Officers and ShotSpotter personnel will inform residents living in those neighborhoods prior to testing.

“In cases like drive-by's when you need to get there fast. I think this would have changed our whole lives,” said resident Dania Scott.

Scott told NBc 7 that her brother Xavier Fox was killed in a drive-by shooting in Lincoln Heights. Although half dozen people called 911, it took police three years to catch the suspected shooter.

“I'm devastated by the violence in southeast San Diego and I am praying for change every day,” Scott added.

“If it saves one life or it prevents one shooting, the question has to be asked. Is it worth it? We think it is,” said Lt. Scott Wahl with SDPD.

SDPD says the program has been implented by several agencies across the nation, including NYPD, Miwaukee PD and Miami PD.

An investigation by the Center for Public Integrity brought into question the reliability of the technology. Reporter Matt Drange dug into thousands of alerts in cities across the country and according to the news organization “a clear pattern emerged: lots of calls, few tangible results.”

One person was transported to the hospital after being stabbed Tuesday evening in City Heights, the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) confirmed.

The incident occurred at approximately 4:35 p.m. on the 4000 block of 44th Street. 

Three male suspects were seen leaving in a Jeep-type vehicle, SDPD said.

The victim suffered five stab wounds and was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital. The injuries are considered to be non-life threatening. 

SDPD says as of 5:30 p.m., officers were still on scene.

No other information was immediately available.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley accepted President-elect Donald Trump's offer to be his ambassador to the United Nations, Trump's transition team announced Wednesday.

Haley, 44, is the daughter of immigrants from India and is only America's second Asian-American governor.

Trump said in a statement that Haley "has a proven track record of bringing people together regardless of background or party affiliation to move critical policies forward for the betterment of her state and our country."

The two-term governor was not always on Trump's side. She initially backed his rivals, Sen. Marco Rubio and then Sen. Ted Cruz, during the GOP primary. In February, she said Trump was "everything a governor doesn't want in a president," but in July she announced she would vote for him. 

“Our country faces enormous challenges here at home and internationally, and I am honored that the President-elect has asked me to join his team and serve the country we love as the next Ambassador to the United Nations,” Haley said Wednesday.

The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System’s (MTS) bus and trolley service will scale back on Thanksgiving, running on a Sunday schedule.

MTS released the holiday service schedule here for all trolley lines, as well as Rapid, urban and local bus routes. No service will be provided on the Rapid Express Routes 280 or 290, Sorrento Valley COASTER Connection, most Express bus routes or the Vintage Trolley (Silver Line). MTS’ Transit Store is also closed for Thanksgiving.

Most service will return to a regular weekday schedule on Friday, including all trolley lines and urban and local bus routes, which will run on their normal schedules. Rapid Express Routes 280 and 290 will run on a modified schedule, with decreased frequency in service for that day.

Hateful notes and emails allegedly sent to a North Park University student were “fabricated,” the school’s president said Tuesday in a statement, and the woman who claimed they were aimed toward her is no longer enrolled at the school.

“We are confident there is no further threat of repeated intolerance to any member of our campus community stemming from this recent incident,” the university’s President David Parkyn said in a statement.

The student, Taylor Volk, said on Nov. 14 she had received emails and notes taped to her door containing harassing, threatening language and mentions of President-elect Donald Trump. She had also posted pictures of notes with homophobic slurs to her Facebook account.

Volk and school officials did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Volk said at the time she was confident North Park was investigating the matter, although the school would not comment directly on the notes to NBC 5. The university’s marketing director, Chris Childers, said in a phone interview earlier this month “any incident that is reported to North Park is taken extremely seriously.”

A Chicago Police official said on Nov. 14 they could not find any report about the incident.

“When student safety is compromised, and when institutional values are not maintained, we will respond with resolve as we did in the most recent incident,” Parkyn said. “Additionally, we ask members of the community to reflect our institutional ethos and commitment in our interpersonal relationships—through inclusion, civility, dialogue, respect, hospitality, and a mutual love for God and all people.”

North Park's campus is located in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, noted for its diversity as an immigrant gateway community, on the city's Northwest Side.

The Southern Poverty Law Center said that there were 701 hateful incidents of harassment reported around the country in the week since the presidential election, though not all reports were verified. About 65 percent of the incidents were from the first three days following the election, and there has been a steady drop-off since, the hate-tracking group said. 

Trump has called for people to stop such displays. 

Despite losing the presidential election to Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton now has more than 2 million more votes than him, NBC News reported.

According to an ongoing tally by Cook Political Report’s David Wasserman, Hillary Clinton's vote total is 64,223,986 (48.1 percent of the vote), while Trump's is 62,206,395 (46.6 percent) - a difference of 2,017,591 votes. Clinton’s vote total is nearing the 65.9 million votes Barack Obama won in 2012.

Wasserman’s statistics also revealed that Trump beat Clinton in 13 swing states by a margin of 48.5 percent to 46.6 percent. In the non-swing states, though, Clinton is ahead of Trump 48.9 percent to 45.6 percent.

Trump won the electoral college, 306-232.

Jill Stein, who ran for president as the Green Party candidate, is seeking a recount of the votes in the battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, her campaign said on Wednesday.

Donald Trump's margin of victory over Hillary Clinton was narrow in all three states, which were expected to vote Democratic, and the results have become the focus of speculation — based on little proof — that the vote may have been tampered with. Stein acknowledged those fears in her statement announcing the recount drive.

"After a divisive and painful presidential race, reported hacks into voter and party databases and individual email accounts are causing many American to wonder if our election results are reliable," Stein said. "These concerns need to be investigated before the 2016 presidential election is certified. We deserve elections we can trust."

The deadline for filing for a recount in Wisconsin is Friday at a cost of $1.1 million. Stein and her running mate, Ajamu Baraka, are raising money to fund the effort. Their goal is $2 million by Friday afternoon.

The announcement follows a New York magazine report that some computer scientists have been urging Democrat Hillary Clinton to ask for the recount in the three states. The article questioned the deviation in election results from predictions in polls. 

J. Alex Halderman, a computer science professor at the University of Michigan, confirmed on Medium that he had been in touch with the Clinton campaign but said his views had been misrepresented and it was "probably not" true that the election was hacked.

"I believe the most likely explanation is that the polls were systematically wrong, rather than the election was hacked," he wrote. 

But he also said that the only way to know whether a cyberattack changed the result was to examine the paper ballots and voting equipment in the three states.

President-elect Donald Trump beat Clinton with 290 electoral votes to Clinton's 232, with Michigan outstanding. Clinton has a lead of more than 2 million popular votes. 

The deadline in Pennsylvania is Monday and Wednesday in Michigan.

Halderman, who also is director of Michigan's Center for Computer Security and Society, wrote that many states continue to use voting machines that are known to be insecure and that can be infected with vote-stealing malware. Checking the paper record in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan would allow voters to be confident the results were counted correctly, he wrote.

"Examining the physical evidence in these states — even if it finds nothing amiss — will help allay doubt and give voters justified confidence that the results are accurate," Halderman wrote.

An article on Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight website, which predicted the race incorrectly, cast doubt on concerns about tampering with the electronic voting machines. Demographics explain the results, Carl Bialik and Rob Arthur wrote.

"We've looked into the claim — or at least, our best guess of what's being claimed based on what has been reported — and statistically, it doesn't check out," they wrote.

A woman recovering from multiple stab wounds will leave the hospital in time to spend Thanksgiving with her son.

“With her condition, she will probably be in bed,” Michael Vincent, the woman's son, told NBC 7. “But I’ll try to fix her up a good dinner with the limited cooking skills I have.”

The 59-year-old woman is a psychiatric nurse at the North Central Region Outpatient Clinic on Morena Boulevard at Savannah Street, who was randomly and ruthlessly attacked as she was stepping out of her car last week.

Six times the woman was stabbed in the chest, neck and head, San Diego Police (SDPD) said. It happened at about 5:01 a.m. Monday on Nov. 14

She's been a County of San Diego employee for 25 years, working as a mental health specialist, Craig Sturak, Communications Officer Health and Human Services, confirmed to NBC 7.

The man accused of attempted murder in the random stabbing case was held on bail of $2 million in court. At his arraignment, Gregg Taylor, 57, pleaded guilty to an attempted murder charge, according to prosecutors.

He could face a maximum exposure of life in prison with the possibility of parole. Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident or have more information to call them.
