Queens Stabbing: Five Stabbed, Four Dead Including Children; Suspect Fatally Shot After Injuring Two Officers (VIDEO)
A peaceful Sunday morning turned into a horrifying scene of violence in a quiet residential area of Far Rockaway, Queens, after a “madman” went on a stabbing rampage, resulting in the deaths of four individuals, including two children.
The suspect, 38-year-old Courtney Gordon, was subsequently shot and killed by responding officers after he inflicted injuries upon them, ABC7 NY reported.
At approximately 5:00 AM, emergency operators received a distress call from a young female who reported that her “cousin was attacking her family members.”
Outside the residence, the officers discovered an 11-year-old girl in critical condition, who later succumbed to her injuries. The suspect, Gordon, attempted to flee the scene, carrying luggage as he walked down the driveway,
