And there was also knife action in Belize City - and, this one was an interfamily dispute. 

On Friday night, two brothers Kurson 19, and Kirk Howard, 26, were at a residence on Neal's Penn Road when they got into an argument.  Kurson allegedly pulled a knife and stabbing his older brother Kirk. Kirk  then got hold of the knife.   

Police told us more:

Sr. Supt. Hilberto Romero - Deputy, NCIB
"On Friday the 14th day of February 2020 around 9:25 PM police visited the KHMH where they found Kurson Howard and Kirk Howard with stabbing injuries. They are brothers. Information reveal that they were at an area when they got into a fight. One stopped the other one. Afterwards, the other person took the knife away and inflicted the stabbings to the other one. Both are in stable condition at this time."

Reporter
"Are you all expecting to bring charges since you know the suspects very well?"

Sr. Supt. Hilberto Romero
"Well again, an investigation will be conducted. Later we’ll determine what charges we will level up on him."

Reporter
"Might it not be argued that Kurson was defending himself since Kirk had tried to stab him first?"

Sr. Supt. Hilberto Romero
"Yes, that is what we’re looking at. One inflicted the stab injuries and after the knife was taken away from him."
