A disturbing domestic incident in New York has left a family seriously injured and a man dead after what police describe as a violent attack inside a home.
Family Attack Leaves Three Injured and Suspect Dead
Police in New York responded to an emergency call on February 1 after reports of a violent assault at a residential home. According to authorities, 53-year-old Roy Victorio allegedly attacked his wife and two children before taking his own life.
When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered that multiple family members had been injured during the incident. All victims were quickly rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Argument Reportedly Triggered the Violence
Initial reports suggest the incident began with an argument between Victorio and his 15-year-old son. The disagreement reportedly escalated into a violent confrontation inside the home.
During the attack:
- Victorio’s 52-year-old wife suffered head injuries after being struck with a knife
- His 21-year-old daughter received cuts to her hand
- His 15-year-old son was hit in the head with a dumbbell
After injuring his family members, Victorio allegedly used the knife to harm himself. Police later found him with serious wounds to his throat and abdomen at the scene. Authorities also recovered both the knife and dumbbell used in the attack.
Victims in Stable Condition
Emergency responders transported all four individuals to a nearby hospital. Victorio later died from his injuries, while his wife and two children are currently reported to be in stable condition and receiving treatment.
The identities of the injured family members have not been released publicly.
Background and Ongoing Investigation
According to reports, Victorio and his wife both worked as physical therapists. A neighbour told local media that police had previously responded to the home a few months earlier, though details of that earlier visit remain unclear.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances that led to the violent incident. Officials have not yet released further details as they piece together what happened inside the home.
