Death – Obituary – Accident and Crime News : FAR ROCKAWAY, Queens – A horrific incident unfolded in Queens early Sunday morning, leaving four people dead, including two innocent children, before the suspect was shot and killed by the police. The NYPD is currently conducting an investigation into the stabbing rampage that took place at a residence on Beach 22nd Street.
According to NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, the authorities received a distressing 911 call from a teenage girl around 5:10 a.m., who reported that her “cousin is stabbing my family.” Promptly responding to the call, officers arrived at the scene and encountered a man identified as 38-year-old Courtney Gordon from the Bronx. To their surprise, Gordon was seen exiting the house with luggage.
Attempting to gather information, the officers questioned Gordon about the ongoing situation. However, what followed was a chilling encounter that lasted a mere 10 seconds. Maddrey disclosed that the suspect suddenly drew a knife and attacked the officers. One officer was stabbed in the neck/chest area, while the other suffered a blow to the head. Both officers were rushed to Jamaica Hospital, where they are expected to recover from their injuries.
In a swift response to the threat, a police officer at the scene fired at the suspect, ultimately taking his life. The NYPD spokesperson confirmed that the suspect was killed in the exchange, neutralizing the immediate danger he posed.
Unfortunately, due to a fire at the residence, officers initially faced difficulties entering the premises. Once inside, they discovered the horrifying aftermath of the stabbing spree. Tragically, a 12-year-old boy, a man in his 30s, and a 44-year-old woman were found dead in one of the bedrooms. In front of the house, authorities came across the lifeless body of an 11-year-old girl, while a 61-year-old woman was found in critical condition.
As the investigation continues, the NYPD is working tirelessly to determine the motive behind this senseless act of violence. The community of Far Rockaway and the city as a whole are left in shock and grief over the loss of innocent lives, especially those of two innocent children. Updates on this tragic incident will be provided by FOX 5 NY as new information emerges.
