According to police, the 4-year-old boy sustained a stab wound to the chest and was taken to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police say a woman stabbed three children, killing a 4-year-old boy, after she took away their phones and locked the doors to the home Friday morning in the 3600 block of West Palmer Street. The woman has been arrested,
