Mass Stabbing in Brooklyn:

A woman and four children were stabbed to death late Saturday night inside a Brooklyn apartment.  A man was in custody, who police believed to be the killer, and was being questioned Sunday morning.  Police are still unsure as to why or exactly who killed the woman and 4 children.

The youngest of the 5 killed, was the mothers 18 month old boy. Nine and six year old girls were found already dead on the scene when paramedics arrived. The 37 year old mother and an 8 year old boy were found unconscious but in critical condition.  The two were rushed to a nearby hospital, but doctors were unable to save them.  The names of the 5 victims still have not been released to the public.

The father came home later that night and had to be told about the stabbing and witnesses say that he was hysterical.  A neighbor said that he always saw the four children running and down the street, playing and laughing, so it was heartbreaking to hear about the stabbing.

People at the scene would describe it as chaotic, with several people and emergency vehicles all around on a small Brooklyn street.  Several police men and emergency responders were there late Saturday night, searching for clues and talking to neighbors or anyone who may have seen or heard anything.

This is just sickening if you ask me or almost anyone else.  I couldn’t imagine seeing a one and a half year old stabbed to death.  It makes you question how evil some people really are in the world.  Then you look at all the eminency responders, police men and women, as well as the doctors and it shows that there is some evil, but there is also much more people that do good in the world.
