Police Standoff After Man Stabs Woman

A man suspected of stabbing a woman to death barricaded himself in his Bronx apartment building Tuesday morning during a standoff with police.

The NYPD says police were called to the home on Needham Avenue at about 8:30 a.m. for a 911 call of a dispute between a 53-year-old man and a 57-year-old woman.

The officers saw him stabbing her in the torso, and one officer shot at the man. The suspect then released the woman and retreated into the apartment, where he barricaded himself, police said.

The woman was taken to the hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

The suspect eventually surrendered and was taken into custody. He was in stable condition with gunshot wounds to the torso.
