One person dead, another seriously injured after stabbings in Shelby

SHELBY – A person has died and another seriously injured after two stabbings in Shelby at 4643 South Gravel Rd.

Another man, who allegedly stabbed the other two individuals, is in custody, Sheriff Chris Bourke said.

Law enforcement was dispatched to scene at 11:55 a.m. for report of a disturbance in Shelby Center. The responding deputy encountered an aggressive individual who was covered in blood, Bourke said. The man came at the deputy, who used a taser to try to subdue the man, the sheriff said.

That man remained aggressive, but was able to be put in the back of the police car. He is being interviewed by law enforcement and is now being cooperative, Bourke said.

There were two people inside the house and one was dead from stabbing wounds. Another man suffered more than 20 stabbing wounds, and remains alive but with severe injuries, Bourke said.

The man was transported to Medina Memorial Hospital and then transferred to Erie County Medical Center by ambulance due to mercy Flight being unable to fly its helicopter due to the weather conditions.

Law enforcement remain on scene to process the evidence. Route 63 has been closed between Alabama Road and Oak Street.

The sheriff said a news release will be forthcoming with more details.
