Two people have been found stabbed at Montara Beach, one is dead
Two people have been found stabbed at Montara State Beach. One man is dead and the second has been rushed to the hospital.
At 7:20 this morning, someone called the police to say that a person was bleeding near the parking lot at the beach, according to Lt. Lisa Williams of the Sheriff’s Department.
I was there to participate in the Calfornia Coastal Cleanup Day event at the beach, as were a lot of other startled Montarans.
Two campers were being questioned by the police when I arrived. Surfers and others who happened to be at the beach when the victims were discovered have either been questioned or have had their cars trapped behind the police line.
This case is especially frightening in view of the shooting death of two campers on August 18 just north of Jenner on the Sonoma County coast.
UPDATE: The Mercury News is reporting that the stabbings at Montara Beach on Saturday was the result of a father allegedly stabbing his son to death and turning the knife on himself.
