FOLSOM (CBS13) – A baby and a woman were found stabbed at a Folsom home, and officers shot a knife-wielding man, according to Folsom Police on Thursday.
Police say that they showed up to the scene along Montrose Drive at around 2:30 p.m. and were confronted by a man with a knife. The man was then shot by officers.
Officers then found that a toddler and a woman were stabbed. All three - the man, woman and baby - were taken to the hospital.
One woman was seen covered in blood and was taken to the police department for questioning as a witness.
No evacuations were called for in the neighborhood.
"We're pooling all of our resources into finding out what happened," said Folsom Police officer Andrew Bates "We'll piece it back together as we continue with the investigation."
A neighbor who lives down the street recounted the hectic scene. He says was inside his home when he heard two gunshots and a woman scream.
"I ran over here behind that red van, and I saw a lady up on top of the grass hill, and then there's another guy laying on the ground, his face is all bloody, his hands are all bloody," he said.
Another neighbor who did not want to go on camera said he's never seen anything like this before in the generally quiet and safe neighborhood.
