NEW YORK — A man stabbed his wife and 2-year-old daughter to death before critically injuring himself in New York.

Police say the father was using FaceTime with his nephew as he was stabbing his wife and daughter in Queens.

The nephew notified the police, who arrived at the scene of an ongoing assault shortly after 7 p.m. on Saturday on Forest Avenue in Ridgewood. By the time officers reached the location, the horrific act had already occurred.

One by one, bodies were removed from the apartment. A neighbor, who did not want to be identified, watched in horror.

“It’s out of the ordinary to witness gurneys and individuals covered in blood exiting a building. That’s unheard of around here,” a neighbor remarked.

Authorities reported that the 41-year-old mother suffered approximately 18 stab wounds to her neck and chest, leading to her death. Her 2-year-old daughter was also stabbed nine times and was subsequently pronounced dead.

The 54-year-old man had stab wounds to the chest and was critically wounded.

Neighbors say they have never heard any fighting in the apartment. In fact, they did not know the family well at all, because they kept to themselves. They say everything appeared normal — at least on the outside.

“I think we are all in shock. Maybe ask us in a few days but right now we’re all in much shock. It’s very sad,” said one neighbor.

The bloodshed appears domestic in nature, as police say they are not looking for any other suspects. Authorities are investigating what sparked the violence.

Police are still trying to piece together what sparked the triple stabbing.
