A Morgan County woman has been charged with capital murder in the stabbing death this morning of her eight-year-old son.

The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office arrested Jennifer Nicole Long, 41, at the scene of an incident at about 5:30 a.m. on Village Drive near Hartselle. Priceville police also responded.

Officers arriving found the juvenile dead, as well as one adult man suffering from a stab wound.

He was treated at the scene and transported to Huntsville Hospital by Air Evac.

The child’s name, nor the name of the adult male, has not yet been released.

Authorities are still trying to piece together what happened.
