A recently retired American police officer shot and killed his two daughters before killing himself at the family’s home, officials said Saturday.
Glen Hochman, 52, who retired from the White Plains police force last month, killed two daughters, ages 17 and 13, before killing himself in Harrison, an affluent town about 24 km northeast of New York City, USA Today reported.
Hochman’s wife and an older daughter were not home at the time. Neighbors described the family as friendly and kind.
“The department is shocked and horrified by the news of this unfathomable tragedy,” David Chong, White Plains public safety commissioner said in a statement. “We can only pray for the family.”
