CHEHALIS – Police are still investigating what took place at a Winlock home in which a man and a woman both were wounded from what was believed to be a small-bladed knife on Friday night.
“We believe it’s a (domestic violence) situation, both got injured, knife injuries,” Toledo Police Department Chief John Brockmueller said this morning. “We’re still trying to figure out who did what.”
Police and firefighters were dispatched about 9:30 p.m. on Friday to the 300 block of Cedar Court for a possible stabbing.
When they arrived, the woman was at a neighbor’s with minor lacerations to her upper extremities, according to Lewis County Fire District 15.
Brockmueller said the two are in their late 30s.
The man had some wounds to his abdomen and was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Brockmueller said.
He has had surgery, but his injuries aren’t believed to be life-threatening, the chief said.
Assistant Fire Chief Kevin Anderson indicated the woman was treated at the scene and declined to be transported by ambulance, but was going to go to the emergency room with a friend.
Police Chief Brockmueller said they got a search warrant and have not yet located the suspected weapon, but were told it was a small bladed knife.
He said he was not certain yet of their relationship or even if both reside at the home.
“We should have more in a couple of days,” he said.
