DELANO, Calif. (KERO) — Delano police are investigating a double stabbing at a Fastrip on Garces Highway that left two injured.
Officers responded to the store around 5 Saturday evening, where they found one person suffering from stab wounds. A second victim suffering from similar injuries arrived at a local hospital.
Both people are currently getting medical treatment for their injuries.
A resident, who did not want to be interviewed on camera due to fear of retaliation, said they saw one person being taken to an ambulance.
Mayor Pro-Tem Mario Nunez Jr. spoke about the incident over the phone.
"Delano has not been violent or a crime wise in over three years. We haven't had any kind of violence. Anything violent, gang related, or anything in three years. My wife, myself, my kids still go to that school. You can go anytime during the day or night there. It is not a bad area," Nunez said.
Detectives are now searching for the person responsible. Anyone with information is asked to call the Delano Police Department at 721-3377.
