UPDATE:
MIFFLIN COUNTY, Pa. (WJAC) — State police in Lewistown have identified the suspect who stabbed one person and hit another with a car Thursday afternoon at the Dairy Queen in Wayne Township, Mifflin County.
Troopers say 18-year-old Katelyn Stutzman, of McVeytown, reportedly stabbed a fellow employee, who was also her mother, following an altercation inside the fast-food restaurant.
Investigators say Stutzman stabbed her 55-year-old mother several times before attempting to flee the scene.
Troopers say several patrons at a neighboring restaurant attempted to intervene, at which time Stutzman got into her vehicle and struck a pedestrian in the parking lot.
Police say Stutzman was later located at her residence and was taken into custody without further incident.
Authorities say both victims were transported to UPMC Altoona and are being treated for their injuries. Their condition is unknown at this time.
Troopers say Stutzman is charged with one count of criminal attempted homicide, as well as two counts of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.
Court dockets show that she is scheduled to be arraigned Friday afternoon and her preliminary hearing is set for March 16.

The incident took place at a Dairy Queen, off of Route 22, just steps away from the Huntingdon County border.
"Today, just around noon, troopers responded to a dispute between two workers at the Dairy Queen in Wayne Township in Mifflin County,” remarked Pennsylvania State Trooper Christopher Fox.

The incident left both victims badly hurt.
“Both individuals were seriously injured and are being treated at UPMC Altoona for their injuries,” Tpr. Fox said.
Investigators say police then detained the woman believed to be responsible for the madness without further incident.
