One person is dead and another is recovering after a stabbing and fire at a home in northeast Dallas Wednesday afternoon, police and fire officials say.[[406570415, R]]
Dallas police said officers were called to a stabbing at a home on the 9100 block of Gunnison Drive. When officers arrived, they found the victim inside but the attacker was nowhere to be found.
With smoke and fire coming from the garage area of the home, officers worked quickly to get the victim to safety outside while requesting fire assistance from the Dallas Fire-Rescue Department.
Firefighters later discovered the body of an adult male inside the home who was unable to get out after the fire started. The man's identity and cause of death will be determined by the Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office.
DFR said the stabbing was the result of a dispute between the occupants of the home and that at some point a fire started in the garage.
The fire was mostly isolated to the garage and attic, though smoke spread throughout the home.
The investigation by the Dallas police is ongoing.
