A family of four were found dead with gunshot wounds to the head at a home in southeast Queens on Monday in what was believed to be a murder-suicide, the police said.
Investigators believe that a man killed his wife and two daughters before taking his own life, the police said. Officers found a note on the kitchen table at the house, on 230th Place near Kennedy International Airport, that read “I’m sorry. Love, Mark.”
A rifle was recovered at the scene and believed to have been the murder weapon. The man, who was identified by a law enforcement official as Mark Bailey, was found in the living room with a gunshot wound to the forehead. Mr. Bailey was believed to be in his 40s, according to a law enforcement official.
The man’s teenage daughters and his wife were found in their bedrooms with gunshot wounds, the police said. The law enforcement official identified the wife as Dionne Bailey, 42, and the daughters as Yanique, 19, and Yolanne, 14.
The police responded to an emergency call that someone needed medical attention around 7 a.m. Monday. When officers arrived at the home, they discovered the four bodies.
