An Oklahoma prosecutor who is recovering after being stabbed by his adult daughter is calling on state lawmakers for more funding for mental health services. Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler on Wednesday said in brief remarks to reporters that his family “endured one of the toughest days in our lives” on Tuesday. Police Capt. Richard Meulenberg says Kunzweiler’s 30-year-old daughter, Jennifer Kunzweiler, was arrested following the stabbing at the home where she lived with her parents. Meulenberg said the motive was unknown, but that it was related to mental illness. It’s the third time since 2015 that an elected Oklahoma official has been stabbed by an adult child.
