OPINION

BEDSWORTH, J.

We deal here with the admissibility of statements made by a stabbing victim to a 911 operator and the first police officer on the scene. It is our conclusion the statements were admissible as spontaneous statements and were non-testimonial in nature, and therefore not barred by Crawford v. Washington (2004) 541 U.S. 36, 124 S.Ct. 1354, 158 L.Ed.2d 177 (Crawford).
