Authorities responded to a distressing 911 call from an 11-year-old girl reporting an attack on her and her siblings by their uncle, Longqian Chen. Arriving officers found a chaotic scene with Chen armed and threatening. After multiple warnings went unheeded, officers fired their weapons, injuring Chen, who was in critical condition. Four children suffered serious stab wounds and were rushed to a hospital. The incident reflects ongoing concerns about mental health crises leading to violent situations.
