NEW YORK -- A police officer shot and killed a man who allegedly stabbed an 8-year-old boy to death in Queens on Thursday, the New York City Police Department said.
The stabbing likely stemmed from a domestic dispute, police said, but the details were still unclear. Police said the 20-year-old suspect and the 8-year-old male victim may be brothers or step-brothers. No names were immediately released.
The incident occurred inside an apartment building on 94th Avenue in the borough's Jamaica neighborhood. Around 5:20 p.m., police say a 29-year-old woman who had been stabbed in the back left the building and ran down the street to MTA Police to ask for help. At the same time, the building's security desk called 911.

The Labour Party and its leader, new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, undoubtedly won the U.K. general election, but as he set to work building his new cabinet, there was another politician keen to crow about his party's election windfall, much smaller though it was. Nigel Farage, the leader of the far-right Reform UK party and long one of Britain's most divisive politicians, was heckled by a series of protesters as he took the stage to deliver a speech in London on Friday.
