What was reported
A man and a woman suffered stab wounds at about 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 29, 2026, in southern Vigo County, according to WTHI[1]. The exact location was not reported.
WTHI reported that the suspect ran from the scene and was caught later. All three people involved were taken to a hospital. No names were released.
The Vigo County Prosecutor's Office had not filed charges while the Vigo County Sheriff's Office continued its investigation. The Tribune-Star also published an update[2], but only its headline was reviewed for this post. This report therefore relies on WTHI for the incident details.
What an injured person should do next
If you are hurt in an attack, get appropriate medical care and keep copies of your treatment records. Save photographs of your injuries and records showing missed work. You can also ask the investigating agency for the case or report number.
A criminal prosecution and a civil injury claim are separate matters. The absence of criminal charges does not automatically prevent a civil claim, but any claim still depends on the evidence and the facts. A general guide to evidence used in Indiana injury claims explains why organized records can matter.
Why the location and deadlines matter
The reported incident happened in southern Vigo County, and the Vigo County Sheriff's Office is investigating. A civil case would usually be filed in the county where the injury happened or where a defendant lives.
Most Indiana injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Indiana also divides fault among those involved under Ind. Code 34-51-2-6. You can read more about the filing period in this guide to Indiana injury claim deadlines.
A police or sheriff's report can help document what investigators learned, but it is not a determination of civil liability. The applicable facts and available evidence must be reviewed separately.
