A 49-year-old man attacked four children in a Brooklyn home before being shot by police. The 11-year-old girl bravely called 911, providing crucial information. Police arrived promptly and, after encountering the armed man, ended the threat after he refused orders to drop the weapon. The victims are expected to survive, and the fifth child managed to escape unhurt. The incident raises concerns about the suspect's mental health history and highlights the bravery of the young girl who requested help in a dire situation.
"The 11-year-old caller stated that she and her siblings had been stabbed by her uncle. She did not know her address."
"The officers ordered the man to drop the weapon several times. He refused and advanced towards them."
"Police came in and did what they had to do to save the children, terrible," resident Carl Caltabiano said.
"We gave him a coat and some socks. He was wearing slippers, we gave him water and a sandwich," Lam says.
