Lance Baker, 46, a US Army Reserve Battalion Commander, was critically injured in the horrific attack late Sunday as his wife, Samantha Baker, 37, was killed at their Alabama home, allegedly by their 17-year-old son in a fight over him being disciplined, according to police.<\/p>\n

The injured dad ran from their house in Daphne \u2014 but the teenager ran after him and stabbed him multiple times outside as the dad begged for help, traumatized neighbors recalled of the attack they said lasted up to seven minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he\u2019s going house to house, hand prints, there\u2019s blood on them all,\u201d next-door neighbor Shawn Scurry told Alabama.com of the horror caught in part on his security cameras.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was probably the hardest part \u2014 was pulling up my camera and listening to it and listening to the father yelling for help,\u201d Shawn Scurry told Fox 10 TV.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Please help me. I don\u2019t want to die,’\u201d the video caught him pleading, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it just carried on down and it looks like he was trying to find an open door and I didn\u2019t know where he was or where anybody was.\u201d<\/p>\n

Capt. Justin Correa of the Baldwin County Sheriff\u2019s Office confirmed to reporters that Baker \u201cwas running to houses trying to get some help.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Baker parents, who had met while serving in the US Army Reserve, were found with multiple stab wounds outside of their home after they had attempted to flee the deadly attack, officials said.<\/p>\n

The carnage was sparked after the trio argued over the child being disciplined, according to investigators.<\/p>\n

The crime scene spanned roughly half a block in the private neighborhood of Belforest, located about 17 miles east of Mobile across the Mobile Bay.<\/p>\n

Samantha Baker, a realtor, was pronounced dead as first responders flew her husband to a hospital in critical condition, according to the Baldwin County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

The unidentified teenager was arrested and will be charged as an adult with one count of murder and one count of attempted murder.<\/p>\n

The Baldwin County Sheriff\u2019s Office did not immediately respond to the Post\u2019s request for comment on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
