Murder-suicide in New York leaves 5 dead

A gruesome murder-suicide has left five people dead on Long Island, New York. It reportedly happened before a family met with a real estate agent to sell the home of a recently deceased woman.

Nassau County police arrived at the Wyoming Court home in Syosset around noon Sunday, about 30 miles east of New York City.

Responding officers found the shooter dead outside, authorities said, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. They found four other victims dead inside the home.

Police did not immediately identify the victims.

Mary Macaluso, a local real estate agent, told local newspaper Newsday that she was supposed to meet with a group of relatives at the address to discuss selling the home after the death of its owner and the family matriarch.

“The kids were all there for the funeral and they asked me to come see the house,” she told the newspaper. One of the siblings reportedly asked to be seen while other family members were in town from Florida for the funeral.

Fox News Digital could not immediately reach Macaluso for comment Sunday.

Records and an online obituary show that Theresa Martha DeLucia, 95, was the home’s most recent resident and was buried last week, Newsday reported.

The online obituary was no longer visible online Sunday evening.

A couple living in the neighborhood told FOX 5 New York that the suspected shooter was in his 60s and had recently lost his mother, who was in her 90s.

The couple said the son and mother had lived in the neighborhood for years.

“I didn’t think he was going to take his whole family, his brothers and sisters. I thought maybe he was distraught and had only done this to himself,” the neighbor told the local station.

“It’s really heartbreaking. It’s such a quiet little neighborhood that they used to call it a bedroom community. It’s shocking,” another neighbor told FOX 5.
