Authorities said McKinney's 66-year-old mother and 71-year-old stepfather asked him to turn off the video games he was playing in their room so they could go to sleep. In response, he allegedly punched his mother in the face and hit his stepdad. 

"He punched (his) mom in her face breaking her nose. (He) punched (his) stepdad several times, (so his) stepdad went and retrieved a knife from the kitchen to defend himself and his wife. (McKinney) somehow got the knife away from him and then stabbed his mother and stepdad," said Madison Heights Police Chief Corey Haines, WDIV-TV reported. 

Responding police officers reportedly found McKinney bloodied in a hallway of the apartment building.
