Ted Cruz's Daughter 'Okay' After Self-Inflicted Stab Wounds at Texas Home

Ted Cruz's daughter is "okay" after police responded to the Texas senator's home on Tuesday night, according to reports.

The Houston Police Department told ABC affiliate KTRK that officers had responded to reports of a 14-year-old with self-inflicted stab wounds on their arms at an address in the neighborhood of River Oaks. The teenager was taken to hospital.

According to the outlet, police did not confirm if the call involved a member of Cruz's family. The senator has two daughters.

"This is a family matter, and thankfully their daughter is okay," a Cruz spokesperson said in a statement to the outlet. "There were no serious injuries. The family requests that the media respect their daughter's privacy at this time."

Newsweek reached out to the Houston Police Department and Cruz's office for comment.

On Wednesday, some took to Twitter to share messages of support for Cruz and his family.

Representative Joaquin Castro, a Democrat from Texas, tweeted: "Anna and I send blessings and support to @tedcruz, his daughter and family. As the father of three young children, I hope folks will show respect and understanding for the family's pain and privacy. Whatever your perspective, this is a time for grace not viciousness."

Representative Mayra Flores, a Republican representing Texas' 34th congressional district, wrote: "My thoughts and prayers are with the entire @tedcruz family. I pray for his daughters full recovery."

Fred Guttenberg, a gun control advocate, wrote: "Sending @tedcruz and his family my well wishes for what they are going through."
