A woman was fatally stabbed Thursday in what appears to be a domestic disturbance in San Dimas that involved a sword, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said.
Officers responded to a domestic disturbance call around 3:30 p.m. in the 300 block of South Huntington Avenue, where they discovered the body of a woman who had been stabbed to death, authorities said in a news release.
When they first arrived at the scene, officers encountered a bloodied woman carrying a sword, news station KTLA reported. The woman approached officers when they arrived in their police cruiser. The woman was walking down the street, covered in blood and holding the sword, according to video footage from the scene.
Officers ordered the unidentified woman to place the sword on the ground and raise her hands above her head, authorities said. She complied, but it was not clear why she was carrying the sword in the first place.
The woman directed officers to a nearby home where they found the woman who had been fatally stabbed, sheriff's detective Daniel Vizcarra said during a news conference. Another woman was found in the home and appeared unharmed, but was taken to a local hospital for what may have been a heart attack, according to KTLA.
It's not clear what led to the stabbing or who was involved in the incident. Vizcarra said witnesses in the case only speak Mandarin Chinese, so homicide investigators had no immediate information about what happened.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said no arrests have been made as of Friday and all people found at the home are in a local hospital in stable condition.
