The recently elected mayor of a town in western Germany was in critical condition on Tuesday after she was found in her home with multiple stab wounds to her neck and abdomen.

Iris Stalzer, 57, a center-left Social Democrat who secured her mayor-elect standing late last month, dragged herself into her home after several men allegedly attacked her, according to her 15-year-old son, reported Reuters citing German news outlet Bild.

But according to investigators, "Close family involvement cannot be ruled out at the present time," and Stalzer’s son and 17-year-old daughter were also brought in for questioning.
