MACON - A 40-year-old Macon woman and her nine-year-old son were stabbed to death Thursday morning in their apartment. <br>
<br>
The bodies of Sara Hawkins and Christopher Willis were found when a seven-member SWAT team entered the apartment. <br>

Police say 33-year-old Tony Hurst entered the apartment through a window and chased Christopher and his eleven-year-old brother. The older boy escaped and called police. <br>
