Authorities said it wasn't clear what prompted the attack in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood.
A suspect is in custody after allegedly attacking a family in their New York City home with a hammer, fatally striking the mother and seriously injuring her two young children, authorities said Wednesday.
The suspect lived with his 9-year-old son in one room and the victims lived in another room, Chell said. The third room was occupied by a single person, he said.
