A Virginia pastor was stabbed by his own son in his home Monday afternoon. Pastor Dave Janney, of Purcellville Baptist Church, was stabbed by his 19-year-old son, Jonathan, according to WUSA9.

Two police officers reportedly arrived quickly after Pastor Dave’s daughter called 911. They used medic kits to stop the bleeding and give time for the rescue crew to arrive. Jonathan originally fled the scene, but was later spotted by police and was taken in peacefully. Jonathan has been charged with aggravated malicious wounding.

Police Chief McAlister told WUSA9, “He’s not known to be a kid of violence.  This was a total unknown for us. Are there issues? Obviously. Hopefully, we can get to the bottom of them, and the court system can help turn this around for them.”

Purcellville Baptist Church said in a Facebook post that Pastor Dave is in “stable condition” and is expected to make a full recovery. The church added, “We recognize that the nature of the event is concerning and brings many questions. We cannot share more details at this time as the investigation is ongoing. We will provide more updates as we are able. Pastor Dave has been the faithful pastor of PBC for more than 20 years. It is our main focus to love and minister to him and his family in order to help bring full healing and recovery. We ask that you pray for them during this difficult time.”
