LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles police investigators are searching for suspects in what they say was a gang-related attack that left a pregnant first-grade teacher with 10 stab wounds Wednesday evening.

KTLA reported that the woman, identified by local media as 33-year-old Tanya Nguyen, was parked on the street in front of her home when the carjacking took place. Her husband, Greg Maga, told the news station three people came “absolutely out of nowhere” and asked Nguyen for her cellphone.

The Los Angeles Daily News reported that one of the men stabbed her repeatedly in the chest when they did not get her phone. The men then stole her car, crashing it a short time later.

One of the stab wounds went all the way through Nguyen’s lung, Maga told KTLA.

“She’s alive,” he said Thursday morning. “She’s badly injured. She’s going through surgery as we speak.”

Maga told reporters another wound went through his wife’s nose.

“Because she’s pregnant, she tried to protect herself from the stabbing,” Maga said, according to the Daily News. “She used her hand, so she has a lot of stabs on her hand. We don’t know yet about the baby.”

An ultrasound was planned for after Nguyen’s surgery to determine if the couple’s 12-week-old fetus sustained any wounds.

Nguyen’s condition, which was initially listed as critical, has been upgraded to stable condition, KTLA reported.

Sounds like a hate crime, since her husband’s last name is “Maga”.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Well, that last-name vanity plate probably didn’t help her much...

[Buckeye McFrog]

Prayers for she and her baby to survive.

BTW, Greg Maga, greatest name EVER!

The names of those charged were not immediately released.

Why the hell not?

[backwoods-engineer]

Carry a gun.

Oh, wait, it's California. They have no rights.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Gang related. Los Angeles area.

Probably a Swedish gang.

Let’s take a wild guess.....Names weren’t released pending the investigation...

[Beautiful_Gracious_Skies]

Praying for this lady and their baby...

[Kickass Conservative]

Two Animals arrested but no names or descriptions. Hmmm.

Tough lady.

[semaj]

Terrible.

[Popman]

Wait...she was stabbed by a knife???

I can’t wait for some California moron to make the case knives are safer than guns...so banning guns is still a good idea...

The irony is mind boggling...

Why the hell not?

It is important to our elite elected and appointed leaders, and to the elite members of the press, when the names and identities of the perpetrators of particularly heinous crimes might give the public certain ideas about the undesirability of certain types of people in their neighborhoods, that those names and identities be hidden from the public until the story "dies down," even if this places the general public at great risk.

Being a productive citizen and either a child of one or more legal immigrants or a legal immigrant herself, the victim here is clearly second class to the subhumans who tried to murder her. If she’d had a gun and shot one of the darlings, she’d probably be getting prosecuted.

...A gang-related attack that left a pregnant first-grade teacher with 10 stab wounds Wednesday evening...

Alas, what were these so-called "perpetrators" to do, but act out against a racist capitalist hegemony and its tools of influence - reproduction, education, obeisance to the law - that have for so long served as a boot in the face of the oppressed?

Why should such minor incidents not occur with regularity, given the quiet violence of the white and Asian ruling classes, what with their endless provisions of EBT and WIC cards, free housing, free education, free cash, scholarships, affirmative action, and other insulting gestures?

For shame, little pregnant lady, getting in the way of an equitable and fair distribution of cell phones! For shame!

As a great, if not the greatest American and provider of free cell-phones once said (and I paraphrase:) those boys, I tell you, could have been my sons.

Not if she could handle a shovel and was not talkative.
