Overview

• A Maricopa County grand jury charged Dorn with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree burglary, and aggravated assault.
• According to court documents, he entered the apartment near Broadway and Dobson through an unlocked door around 4:30 a.m. armed with a serrated fixed-blade knife.
• Records state the mother struck back with a hammer before being stabbed along with her 18-year-old daughter, and that she suffered facial fractures after being hit with a blunt object and an Xbox.
• One daughter escaped to get help, and Tempe police detained Dorn later that morning after reports of a man trying to get into parked cars and a residence; documents say he told officers he intended to kill and had recently used marijuana laced with PCP.
• Authorities say the victims’ injuries were non-life-threatening and they are expected to recover; Dorn is held on a $2 million cash-only bond and a verified fundraiser has been created for the family.
