Dallas police officer fires shots at stabbing suspect in Northeast Dallas, police say

A Dallas police officer fired gunshots at a stabbing suspect Friday morning and a manhunt is underway to find him, the department said. 

DPD said that officers responded to a call at the Sunchase Park Apartments on Park Lane east of Hemlock Avenue. The suspect, 37-year-old Isidoro Melo-Munoz, allegedly stabbed a woman at the scene.

"At some point, the suspect encountered our officer and the officer fired shots," DPD said. Melo-Munoz then ran from the scene.

DPD describes Melo-Munoz as a Hispanic man about 5-foot-5 inches tall and 140 pounds. Residents are urged to call 911 if they see him.

"We have all of our patrol elements looking for him, all of our technology, every available resource right now," DPD public information officer Allison Hudson told CBS News Texas's Bo Evans at the scene.

The stabbing victim was taken to a hospital in an unknown condition.

Officers were not injured.
