These familial and friend stabbings always seem to occur after drinking.
As the old saying goes: A couple of guys drinking will start a fight. A couple of guys smoking weed will start a band.

Nasty. I hope the injured person makes a recovery....
I wonder, though - are both involved any sort of organized crime group ?
