NORFOLK, Va. — Correction: A previous headline incorrectly described the incident as a shooting instead of a stabbing, after Norfolk police included incorrect information in a press release to media. Additionally, the article incorrectly stated both victims were women. The story has been updated to correct the details.

A woman and a man were killed in a stabbing in Norfolk Thursday evening, police said.

The stabbing happened in the 3400 block of Dunkirk Avenue. According to the Norfolk Police Department, the call came in around 4:55 p.m.

The Norfolk Police Department said the woman was pronounced dead at the scene, and the man was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. He later died.
