Chhatra also died during the arrest. What is the murder of a Nepali family in the United States? Understand in five questions and answers The Fairfax County Police Department is investigating the incident. After reaching the scene and collecting evidence and preventing possible human loss, Fairfax Police Chief Kevin Davis told reporters about the incident. An edited excerpt from Davis's account of the incident to reporters:

A man in his 30s lived in an apartment building with his wife, their one-year-old child, and his wife's parents (all in their 50s). Sometime this morning, the son-in-law was shoveling snow from his car when he heard a commotion in the apartment. His wife, their one-year-old child, and his in-laws were inside the apartment at the time. The person who called the police also lives in a nearby building and heard the commotion. This resulted in two simultaneous 911 calls from the son-in-law and another resident of the building. According to the initial investigation, when the son-in-law entered the apartment, he saw his wife with a stab wound and his father-in-law sitting with her with a hatchet.

I'm having a hard time describing this incident. The hatchet recovered from the scene had a blade that was about 10 inches long. By the time the son-in-law arrived, the father-in-law was attacking his daughter with a sharp weapon. He then pointed the weapon at the son-in-law. So, three people were attacked in this incident. The daughter died on the spot due to the weapon attack. The wife was injured (who has passed away by the time of filing this report). And the injured son-in-law is in critical condition and is being treated at a local hospital.

Fortunately, the baby is safe. It would be an understatement to call this scene bloody. The damage, chaos and destruction this 50-year-old man has caused to his own family is unimaginable.

Our police officers reached the scene within minutes of receiving the information. When they entered the apartment, the father-in-law was attacking the son-in-law. The police repeatedly ordered the culprit, the father-in-law, to stop attacking. But he did not stop attacking, instead he continued attacking the son-in-law right in front of the police.

One of the two people who called 911 was the son-in-law. But before the police arrived, he had tried to stop his father-in-law. Of course, he did it to save his baby. The police, who were watching the scene, shot and killed the (criminal) who had killed his own daughter and brutally stabbed his own wife and son-in-law. I can't even imagine what was going on inside those four walls.

It's commendable that the neighbor called 911 after hearing this noise. What was the state of mind and circumstances that forced him to use a knife on his own family in such a brutal way? I can't understand.

We all take the loss of any life seriously. A Fairfax County police officer would only shoot to save a life, and that's what happened today.

Our policeman shot to save the life of a man who was being attacked by his father-in-law. The man is still in critical condition and is reportedly undergoing surgery.
