New York [US], December 4: A man wielding a steak knife killed four members of his extended family, including two children, at a home in the Queens borough of New York City.
He committed the offence early yesterday before being shot dead by police.
The New York City Police Department says a girl called to report the incident saying "her cousin is killing her family members".
The suspect, a 38-year-old, stabbed two police officers who responded to the scene.
One of the officers then shot him dead, they added.
The suspect had previously been arrested over a domestic violence incident.
The four people stabbed to death included a 12-year-old boy, an 11-year-old girl, a 44-year-old woman and a man in his 30s.
The 11-year-old was found in front of the house, while the other three were found inside bedrooms.
