One Dead, One Critical After Knifings Inside Concord Home Friday

Two people were found down with knife wounds when police forced entry into a home in the 2300 block of Panoramic Drive in Concord on Friday after police responded to the residence following a phone call for help from inside.

A caller reportedly informed dispatchers of an altercation between a man and woman at the residence in a call made at about 8:51 p.m. – the male reportedly armed with a knife.

Police arriving at the residence forced entry after attempts to contact the occupants failed, officers finding two people down inside. Officers rendered life-saving aid to a female victim and transported a man, also suffering from knife wounds, to a local hospital where he was listed in critical condition.

The unidentified female victim was declared deceased at the scene.

In a press release posted Saturday, police said there are no outstanding suspects and no ongoing threat to public safety.
