Police on the scene found the woman in the apartment complex parking lot with multiple, serious lacerations to both hands and additional injuries to her chest, back, and upper legs.
While she was taken by the Fond du Lac Fire Rescue to a local hospital, authorities issued a shelter-in-place order while evacuating neighbors as initial reports indicated the suspect, a 43-year-old Fond du Lac man, was still inside the apartment.
Due to the seriousness of the situation, the FDLPD SWAT and Crisis Negotiations teams were called in with additional support from the Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office SWAT team. Both agencies also had armored rescue vehicles, K9 units, and Technology Response Groups containing drone and robot resources deployed.

26 dogs removed from Chicago Lawn home amid animal cruelty investigation
More than two dozen dogs were removed from a home on Friday in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, after police responded to a report of animal cruelty. Police said officers were called to a home in the 3300 block of West 65th Place around 4:30 p.m. for a report of animal cruelty, and found multiple dogs in the back yard and garage. At least one of the dogs was injured. Chicago Animal Care and Control officials confirmed 26 dogs were removed from a home. Officials said the situation would place an additional strain on the city's animal shelter, which is already near capacity. In July, the city's animal shelter took in an average of more than 50 cats and dogs per day. "While animals involved in this case will not be immediately available, we have hundreds of other pets currently waiting for loving homes. Adoption fees are waived for the entire month of August, and we encourage the public to visit the shelter. For those unable to adopt, fostering is also a vital way to help, and we work with multiple rescue partners who offer foster programs," a Chicago Animal Care and Control spokesperson said. "We appreciate the public's continued support and compassion for the animals in our care." Area 1 detectives were conducting an investigation into the animal cruelty allegations.

Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson arrested for incident at Washington airport involving boyfriend
Reigning world champion 100-meter sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested last weekend for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Richardson was charged Sunday with fourth degree domestic violence, according to the police report obtained by The Associated Press. On Thursday, she ran in the opening round the women's 100 meters at U.S. track and field championships in Eugene, Oregon. She has an automatic bye to the world championships in September in Tokyo as the defending champion. 'USATF is aware of the reports and is not commenting on this matter,' USA Track and Field said in a statement. Richardson's agent did not immediately reply to an email request for comment. The police report said an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between the 25-year-old Richardson and her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman. The officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm and grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away. Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her. Coleman was shoved into a wall. The report later said that Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, which the TSA indicated may have been headphones. In the police report, the officer said: 'I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim.' Richardson won the 100 at the 2023 world championships in Budapest and finished with the silver at the Paris Games last summer. She had a positive positive marijuana test at the 2021 U.S. Olympic trials and didn't compete at the Tokyo Olympics. ___ AP Summer Olympics:

Olympic sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested Sunday on a domestic violence charge at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, according to a police report obtained by CBS News. The incident occurred at a TSA checkpoint where Richardson and a man got into an argument, according to the report detailed by the arresting officer. After viewing security footage, police found that Richardson allegedly pushed the man, and he fell into a nearby column. The video also allegedly showed the man attempting to walk away from Richardson. Richardson also threw a pair of headphones at him, police say. Richardson was booked at the South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Washington, on Sunday and released on Monday, according to jail records. The man told police Richardson was his girlfriend. He didn't want to pursue charges, police said. CBS News reached out to Richardson's agent. Police said Richardson was scheduled to fly to Eugene, Oregon, which is where the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships are taking place through Sunday. Richardson earned her first Olympic gold medal in 2024 at the Paris Olympics as part of Team USA's 4x100-meter relay team. She also secured a silver medal in the 100 in 2024. At the 2020 Olympic trials, Richardson won the 100 but was later suspended for testing positive for marijuana. At the time, Richardson said she used the substance after learning from a reporter that her biological mom had died.
