(BUFFALO GROVE) Police say they have a suspect in custody in connection with the stabbings of four people and a dog during a break-in at their suburban Chicago home.

Deputy Chief Roy Bethge of the Buffalo Grove Police Department said Thursday that two other people questioned by investigators following the stabbings have been released.
