Massacre in New York: he stabs 4 relatives to death, wounds two policemen and is killed

Family massacre in Queens, New York.

A real night of madness that saw a man as the protagonist: he stabbed four members of his family to death, injured two officers who intervened on the scene and then was killed by gunshots fired by a policeman.

The victims are a 12-year-old, a thirty-year-old and two women aged 44 and 61. It was a teenage girl who called 911 and managed to save herself: "My cousin is killing us all," she said.

The police arrived on site and, having been attacked and injured by the man, a 39-year-old, opened fire, killing him. The reasons for the crazy gesture are yet to be clarified.
