Bay Area school locks down due to fatal stabbing at nearby home

A man was killed and a woman injured in a stabbing at a home in Pacifica on Thursday morning, officials said.

The Pacifica Police Department said it learned about the stabbing when responding to a report of domestic violence at 7:45 a.m. on the 200 block of Naomi Avenue in the coastal town that’s about 5 miles south of San Francisco.

At the scene, officers found the man and woman with stab wounds. The woman was taken to a local hospital and the man was pronounced dead.

Officers did not locate the assailant during a search of the surrounding area, according to the department. Vallemar Elementary School, located close to the home where the stabbing occurred, was temporarily put on lockdown out of “an abundance of caution,” the police said.

The stabbing is under investigation, and police are asking anyone with information to call the department at 650-738-7314.

The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office said it is not yet releasing the name of the man who was killed.

Pacifica police did not immediately respond to a request for additional information.
