Parents of 6 Found Dead in Apparent Murder-Suicide in Mastic Beach

A Mastic Beach man is believed to have shot his wife to death and then turned the gun on himself in an apparent murder-suicide at their home Thursday afternoon, police said.

According to police, Seventh Precinct Patrol officers responded to a 911 call at 203 Woodside Drive, after a child who lives at the address was locked out of the home and asked an adult for help.

The adult saw a man, Wayne Street, 29, lying on the ground inside the home and called 911 at about 4:40 p.m. Officers found Street dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and his wife, Jenni Lee Street, 28, of the same address, also dead from a gunshot wound.

The Streets six children were transported to a local hospital where Child Protective Services interviewed them. Two of the children–an infant and a toddler–were inside the home at time of the shootings, CBS 2 reported.

The investigation is continuing.
