MOUNT VERNON, N.Y. (AP) — Police say a man fatally shot his 9-year-old daughter and her baby sitter in a New York City suburb.
Mount Vernon police Chief Barbara Duncan says the child and the 42-year-old woman were found on the second floor of the child's home late Thursday night.
He says the girl's father was in custody Friday morning, arrested on a murder charge. A handgun has been recovered.
The names of the suspect and the victims have not been made public.
Duncan says the sitter was dead at the scene. The girl was pronounced dead at Mount Vernon Hospital.
Police found the victims when they answered a report of domestic violence in the neighborhood of neat private homes. Mount Vernon is 15 miles north of midtown Manhattan.
