In-Laws' Political Dispute Ends In Stabbing

UPPER PROVIDENCE, Pa. (CBS) ― The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office is investigating a politically motivated stabbing that left one in-law hospitalized and another in prison.

Authorities said brothers-in-law Jose Ortiz and Sean Shurelds were involved in a verbal altercation about Democratic presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton when the argument escalated into a stabbing inside their family home on Honey Locust Court in Upper Providence.

Authorities said Ortiz, a registered Republican and Clinton supporter, allegedly stabbed Shurelds, an Obama supporter, in the stomach.

Shurelds was flown to an area hospital and was listed in critical condition.

Ortiz was jailed on $20,000 bail. If convicted of a felony crime, he will not be able to vote in the upcoming election.
