Authorities haven't released the identities of anyone involved in the incident. Neighbors said a family had moved into the home just a week earlier.

Nearby residents said they heard yelling in the early morning Thursday.

One woman shared video from her front door showing blood on the walkway. She said someone had banged on the door, asking for help.

"Is it random? Is it a family issue? Being that it’s a small child is more scary cause who would do that to a woman let alone a child," neighbor Kristen Mays said.

An emotional man and a woman arrived at the scene while authorities investigated. The woman could be seen wailing in the arms of a sheriff's deputy.

Authorities said there does not appear to be a threat to the community.
