The Incident

On the morning of Saturday, November 17, at about 7 a.m., Worcester Police officers were dispatched to the area of Shamrock St for a report of a possible stabbing.

They were told that the suspect was in front of a Shamrock St residence. Upon arrival, officers observed Octavia Orcutt, thirty-one-years-old of Southbridge, outside a residence. Some officers stayed with Orcutt while others attempted to locate possible victims.

Officers located a male and female inside a nearby apartment. At first, they were afraid to open the door.
