OSWEGO TOWNSHIP, Ill. (WLS) -- Police are investigating a violent stabbing in Oswego Township Monday.
Kendall County Sheriff's deputies said one of the neighbors had a knife and was swinging it at the victim. The incident took place in the 100-block of Harbor Drive.
The person only stopped when a witness threatened to use his AR-15-style rifle, the sheriff's office said. The armed witness says he's glad the situation ended when it did.

"I think looking down the barrel of that AR-15, he really stopped and I think he definitely made the right choice at that point," said the witness Dave Thomas.
