Strange Day In Ohio

CLEVELAND (AP) — A Cleveland woman was charged with murder Saturday in the stabbing death of her best friend, who tried to drive away afterward and fatally struck the accused woman's 2-year-old daughter, police said.
The two women were sitting in a running parked car Thursday when they got into an argument, police said. Kimberly Black left the vehicle, went into her house, returned with a knife and stabbed Sharice Swain in the face and neck, said Sgt. Sammy Morris, apolice spokesman.
The wounded Swain then stepped on the gas pedal and hit Black's two young children, who were standing near the car. Two-year-old Kimshia Ruffin was killed, and her 1-year-old sister, Taraji Ruffin, was struck, but her injuries were not considering life-threatening, police said.
They still have no idea what caused the fight, but a woman and a child are dead.   There is an idea that Swain was trying to hit Black with the car, and that hitting the child was a mistake.  Let us hope so.  It won't bring the child back but will keep an already sad story from becoming any worse.

When details come out, we'll surely update you.  I truly am curious to hear what could have made such an enduring friendship turn to murder.
