Columbus Man Stabs His Five Children (http://javascript<b></b>:%20var%20headline%20=%20escape("Columbus%20Man%20Stabs%20His%20Five%20Children"<img%20src="../ubb/wink.gif"%20border="0"%20alt=""%20title="Wink"%20smilieid="5"%20class="inlineimg"%20/>;%20OpenWin(%20'/Global/Create_Email_Story.asp?s=2992602&Headline=' + headline +'||width=635,height=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no'))
Police say a Columbus man went on a violent rampage Wednesday afternoon stabbing his five young children before taking his own life. At least two of those children have died, the other three remain hospitalized.
Witnesses told police that a woman followed by a five-year-old child with blood on her ran screaming from a home on Benning Road, then collapsed around 2:30 Wednesday afternoon.
The woman was not physcially injured.
Police Major Russell Traino said he broke down the door of the white cinderblock house and found a man and a child dead inside.
Police have identified the dead as one year old Clarence Smith-Moore, he died at the scene; two year old Stephan Smith-Moore, he died at the hospital; and boy's father 24-year old Clarence Lacey Smith died at the scene from a self-inflicted stab wound.
Three children, ages one-through-seven, are being treated at The Medical Center. Hospital spokeswoman Marion Scott says of the three surviving children, two are in critical condition and one is listed as unsatisfactory.
Neither Scott nor detective Lieutenant Vince Pasko could confirm reports that the victims were stabbed.
WTVM News Leader 9 will continue to follow this story and have more on this developing story later today at 5:00 & 6:00 pm.
