Emergency crews in Bethpage responded to the A & A Italian Deli on Hicksville Road near Boundary Avenue around 9:10 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 4, according to Nassau County Police.
When officers from the Eighth Precinct arrived, they found a 70-year-old man and 62-year-old woman unresponsive, suffering from stab wounds, police said. The female victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the male victim died at the hospital.
A 30-year-old male suspect was located and arrested, police said. Authorities did not immediately clarify the relationship between the three, though a witness told ABC7 the man is the victims' son.
Video shared by LI Fire Buff shows officers escorting a handcuffed man into an ambulance outside the deli shortly after the incident. Police did not speculate on a possible motive for the killings.
