A woman was killed, and a man is fighting for his life after a mother and son apparently stabbed each other in an apartment in Brooklyn Friday, police say.
Eleven stories below, police found the family’s dog, a poodle named Gigi, on the pavement. It has yet to be determined whether the dog was thrown or fell from the window.
The woman has been identified by police as 58-year-old Donna Hyman. According to police, she was a resident of the apartment in which she was fatally stabbed. It is not yet clear whether or not the son lived in the apartment with her.
Police responded to a call at 1500 Hornell Loop in Starrett City around 7 p.m. Friday. Upon arrival, they found two people with multiple stab wounds to their torsos. Hyman was pronounced dead at the scene.
