Two arrests were made in this bizarre crime — how sad!
The police are calling it a “baby shower that went awry” — and truer words have never been spoken!
Two people were stabbed in a Lawrence, Mass. apartment after a large baby shower on April 23, which drew between 50 and 100 guests, Fox News reports.
Police Chief John Romero says the fight was caused when a thrown bottle hit a guest. Said guest’s husband then drew a knife.
Unsurprisingly, alcohol was said to be a factor in the stabbings.
Although none of the injuries are life-threatening, two of the guests were arrested on charges of assault and battery.
Our biggest question — Why do people need to bring knives to baby showers?

The knives could have already been there- maybe for cutting food, or grabbed out of a drawer in the kitchen. Or maybe the hosts kept knives around, for their own safety, or a guest carried a knife for their own safety. That isn’t too unheard of. I, however, don’t understand why drinking must occur at a baby shower…or at kid’s parties, for that matter. If the guess of honor is UNABLE to drink (because of condition-like pregnancy or an illness; age; they’re a recovering alcoholic; etc.), drinking really shouldn’t be occurring. Just my opinion, anyway.
I’m glad that everyone, ESPECIALLY THE MOTHER-TO-BE and BABY, are expected to be fine. This could have been MUCH, MUCH WORSE!
