Texas authorities are searching for a man accused of stabbing four family members -- including a 9-year-old girl -- on Tuesday at a Houston-area home.
Montgomery County Sheriff deputies responded to a home in Porter just before noon where they learned four people had been stabbed by another family member.
The suspect, identified as Nathan Carlin, 36, had gotten into a verbal argument with some of the victims when he retrieved a knife and stabbed and cut them multiple times, authorities said.

He fled the home on foot. A search for him by law enforcement was unsuccessful.
The victims -- all females -- were listed in age as 61, 38, 23 and the 9-year-old. They sustained lacerations and puncture wounds. They were each taken to area hospitals and were listed in stable but serious condition.
