According to preliminary reports circulating on social media and dispatch audio, Suffolk County Police responded to a 911 call around 8:15 p.m. regarding a male attempting to force his way into a home at 144 Granny Road.
Responding Sixth Precinct patrol units were advised that the suspect had gained entry and that a complainant was locked inside a room hiding. Upon arrival, officers reportedly discovered multiple victims suffering from stab wounds.
