From New York Post: Four young girls were slashed with a meat cleaver in Brooklyn on Sunday morning when a relative went on a deranged and bloody rampage — before he was shot by cops, officials said.
Police rushed to a home on 84th Street around 10:15 a.m. after one of the victims — a wounded 11-year-old girl — locked herself in a room and called 911, telling the dispatcher that her uncle had stabbed her and her siblings.
“At that point [the cops] heard screams coming from behind the door to their left and immediately began forcing their way into the apartment, kicking down the door,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters at a briefing at the scene.
“Once they entered, they encountered a man standing near the entrance holding a large meat cleaver covered with blood, and they could see blood on the floor of the home,” Tisch said. “The officers ordered the man to drop the weapon several times. He refused and advanced towards them.
When the man, later identified as Lun Chang Chen, 49, started walking toward the officers, they opened fire, striking him seven times. He is now in critical condition in the hospital.
According to police, the four girls, ages 16, 13, 11, and 8, all suffered “serious slash and stab wounds.” They were rushed to the hospital and are all expected to survive.
A neighbor described the horrifying moment she was watching through a window and saw two of the girls come out of the home covered in blood.
A fifth child, a boy, was also in the apartment when the attack began, but was able to escape and run for help.
A photo posted on social media shows one of the girls being loaded into an ambulance.
