Brooklyn mass stabbing leaves 5 dead, many of them children

A woman and four children — the youngest an 18-month-old boy — were stabbed to death Saturday night in a rampage at a Brooklyn apartment, officials said.

A man was in custody and being questioned at the 66th Precinct stationhouse early Sunday, following the bloody spree in an apartment on 57th St., near Ninth Ave., in Sunset Park, a police source said.

The toddler and two girls — ages 9 and 6 — were already dead from their wounds when paramedics arrived just after 11 p.m. The emergency responders rushed a woman believed to be around 30 and an 8-year-old boy to area hospitals, but doctors were unable to save them, officials said.

The names of the victims had not been released early Sunday.

I think it's always important to keep that in mind whenever a horrible story comes out.
