Clayton police are investigating a fatal stabbing at a house in Riverdale after a man called to say he had stabbed his girlfriend.

The man called police at 7:30 a.m. Saturday to report the stabbing, which occurred overnight, according to Channel 2 Action News.

When officers arrived at the home, in the 200 block of Valley Hill Road, they said they found a woman dead inside. Channel 2 reported the man at the house had a gunshot wound to his hand. He was taken to a local hospital.

Police said they had not had any recent altercations at the house but told Channel 2’s Steve Gehlbach they had been called to a domestic incident there in February 2014.
