A judge ruled that Long Island parents, whose daughter reported depression, can regain their firearms after Nassau County police had suspended their licenses and required weapon surrender following the daughter's self-harm thoughts. Police had responded to a separate incident involving a man barricaded in a Woodbury, New York, home.

Julio Enmanuel Pena, a 39-year-old Freeport man, is charged with arranging a cocaine sale and involving his 13-year-old daughter in the transaction, according to Nassau County police.

A 22-year-old woman was charged with the murder of a 28-year-old man who was stabbed in the neck at his Long Island home during a visit from her. The victim died in his father’s arms after the attack, and the suspect was found hiding in the house before pleading not guilty in court.

A deadly stabbing in a Long Island suburb prompted a large law enforcement response, though details remain unclear. Nassau County police confirmed an active investigation at a Massapequa home following an unspecified 911 call. A source reported a man was killed and another person taken into custody, with a neighbor suggesting the victim and attacker may have met online.
