Teenage Girl Stabbed in Nixa

Police in Nixa are investigating a stabbing that happened Saturday night in the 800 block of east Country Ridge Street.

Officers say they were called to the scene at 10:41 p.m. and when they arrived, found a juvenile teenage girl in the street with multiple stab wounds.

The girl was taken to the hospital with critical injuries.

The latest update police are receiving is that the girl is in stable condition.

Two suspects retreated into a home and initially refused to surrender to police. The Nixa Emergency Tactical Team was dispatched to the scene and both suspects surrendered around 12:30 a.m. Sunday.

Police believe the victim and suspects know each other, and there’s no ongoing threat to the public.

Because the case involves juveniles, Nixa police will not release the names of those involved.
