Police officers responded to Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) home in Houston, Texas, after reports that one of his teenage daughters had harmed herself.

Houston Police Department officers confirmed to ABC13 that they responded to reports of a 14-year-old with self-inflicted stab wounds on her arms. When police arrived at the home, they determined that nothing criminal had occurred and left the scene.

The teen was transported to a hospital. Though the teen’s condition is unknown, they’re expected to be OK, according to police.
