VAN — A man has died in a stabbing in Van, and the suspect is still at large. According to KETK, Van police and DPS responded after police got a 911 call just before 10:30 Monday morning. Someone was said to be lying in the road after an apparent stabbing near Ohio Street and North Bois D’ Arc Street. The victim died from a stab wound to the chest, according to Van Police Chief Tony Richardson.
Because initial reports said that gunshots were heard, the schools were locked down. However, Chief Richardson said that police were questioning several people, and that he does not believe the public is in any imminent danger. The victim, whose name was not immediately released, is a white man believed to be in his 40s. Announcement of a person of interest was pending.
