In United States v. Good, 780 F.2d 773 (9th Cir.1986), we upheld a warrantless search on the basis of exigent circumstances where the police knew that the defendant's female companion had been stabbed and they had probable cause to believe she was inside the defendant's residence. During the search, the police seized a rifle that became the basis for the defendant's conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
