Woman killed, 2-year-old among 3 stabbed in Queens home, police say
Three people inside a home in Queens were attacked, including a two-year-old girl.
Police responded to an assault in progress just after 7 p.m. Saturday. When officers got there, the unthinkable had already been done.
One by one, bodies were removed from the apartment.
A neighbor who did not want to be identified, watched in horror.
"This isn't normal you just don't see gurneys and people filled with blood coming out of a building. That's not normal. Not in this neighborhood," they said.
Police say a 41-year-old woman was stabbed multiple times in the neck and chest. She was pronounced dead. A 54-year-old man was stabbed in the chest and was critically wounded. A two-year-old girl was stabbed multiple times in the neck and chest -- she is currently in critical condition.
Neighbors say they have never heard any fighting in the apartment. In fact, they did not know the family well at all, because they kept to themselves. They say everything appeared normal -- at least on the outside.
"I think we are all in shock. Maybe ask us in a few days but right now we're all in much shock. It's very sad," said one neighbor.
The bloodshed appears domestic in nature as police say they are not looking for any suspects. Police sources say it appears to be a murder suicide.
The cause of the triple stabbing is under investigation.
