Retired Army general John Bard, 76, who once commanded a brigade at Fort Hood, was stabbed to death in an attack at a home in an upscale Richmond, Va. neighborhood, police said.

A woman, Courtney Cash Martin, 58, was seriously wounded in the attack and was in critical condition Wednesday.

The woman’s 18-year-old son, who police say is suspected in the attack, was also injured.

The woman was stabbed at her home Tuesday morning and a short time later Bard was attacked with a butcher knife, police said.

He staggered into the street and collapsed, police said.

Bard was a brigade commander at Fort Hood in 1974 and '75, then a senior staff officer for the Supreme Allied Commander Europe SHAPE in 1975 through 1977.

In 1977, he returned to West Point as commandant of cadets, where he retired in 1979 at the rank of major general.
