After they were done inside the bank, Wu reportedly became upset, and took a large kitchen knife out of her purse, trying to stab her ex-husband's sister.
The husband tried to intervene, so police say Wu tried to stab him, and inadvertently stabbed herself in the abdomen.
Wu was arrested but hospitalized for her wounds. Police say she will remain under police supervision until she is booked into the South Placer Jail for attempted murder.
