Vegas police: Kids in apartment when father fatally stabbed

A woman is accused of fatally stabbing her husband while their children were in the family's extended-stay apartment west of the Strip, Las Vegas police said Saturday.

Officers found the man with multiple stab wounds and the woman was taken to a hospital for treatment of lacerations, police said.

No identities were released.

Police said the children ages 8-11 were in the apartment but not injured, and it wasn't clear whether they witnessed the stabbing of their father.

The property's website says it has one- and two-bedroom apartments. It's located on Tropicana Avenue, near Arville Street.

The children were placed in custody of Nevada Child Protective Services.
