A woman is injured and a man is dead following a stabbing north of Bremerton.
Sgt. Ken Dickenson, with the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office, says they responded to the 911 call in the 8500 block of Covina Loop NE around 11:40 Sunday morning.
“When they arrived they found a male in his 50s who had been stabbed and gone to a neighbor’s house for assistance. The neighbor was providing life-saving first aid to him until first responders got on scene.”
Dickenson says the man was transported to a nearby hospital where they intended to airlift him to Harborview Medical Center, but he died at the hospital.
Police also located another injured person at the home, a woman in her 50s, who was transported to Harborview with unknown injuries. Dickenson says a witness’ statement at the scene led authorities to believe the woman may have been involved in the injury of the man.
“We have interviewed a witness to this and based on this interview we feel confident that the female is responsible for the injury to the male. She is not in custody at this point, she is being treated at Harborview.”
Dickenson says the investigation is ongoing, but they are not currently looking for any additional suspects. “We believe there is no one outstanding that we’re looking for.”
