Officials received a 911 call from a young girl who claimed her cousin was “killing her family members,” according to a statement from NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, per New York Daily News.

Maddrey noted that the man was visiting the family from the Bronx.

Patrick Hendry, president of the Police Benevolent Association, also said that the home had started on fire amid several stabbings from “a madman on a rampage.”

“This scene was chaos,” Hendry told the publication.

In his statement, Maddrey explained that when two officers arrived at the home after the 911 call, they saw a man walking out of the residence carrying luggage.

After confronting the man and casually questioning him about what was going on inside the home, he immediately pulled a kitchen steak knife on the two cops, according to the chief.

“They engaged him in basically a casual conversation. ‘Hey, did you hear anything — do you know what’s going on?’” Maddrey said in a statement.

“He immediately attacked both officers.”

The man stabbed one officer in the neck and chest and the other in the head before one of them was able to open fire and fatally wound the killer.

Both officers were taken to the hospital and expected to make full recoveries.
