Police responded to a 911 call about a 14-year-old with self-inflicted stab wounds at the home of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R).
Authorities said the teen was taken to the hospital at around 7:40 p.m. on Tuesday, but they have not identified whether it was the daughter of the lawmaker. Cruz and his wife, Heidi, live at the house in Houston with their two teenage daughters.
There was reportedly no evidence of a crime and the teen had no serious injuries.
In a statement released after the incident, Cruz’s office said their daughter was “okay.”
“This is a family matter, and thankfully their daughter is okay,” the statement said. “There were no serious injuries. The family requests that the media respect their daughter’s privacy at this time.”
Cruz was in Washington at the time of the incident.
