Young clerk stabbed in presumed Hanford gang attack

A 19-year-old grocery store clerk was stabbed in south Hanford as he collected shopping carts in the store’s parking lot Wednesday evening.

Miguel Flores stumbled to the front entrance of R-N Market at 6:30 p.m., bleeding from a single stab wound to the chest. Other store employees saw his condition and immediately called 911, police Lt. Greg Freiner said.

“We’re looking at the possibility of two suspects, both male,” Freiner said this morning. “We don’t have a lot of details on them at this time, but one of them was wearing red.”
