Man Stabbed To Death In Rancho Palos Verdes Home

RANCHO PALOS VERDES (CBS)  — A man was stabbed to death in Rancho Palos Verdes Tuesday morning, authorities said.

The stabbing was reported in a house in the 5900 block of Flambeau Road at 1:04 a.m., said Sgt. Harry Drucker of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.

Officials did not call the woman a suspect.

Officers found weapons inside the home including a gun and knife.
