Through a screen door, the father told him to go get his siblings and when the children -- ages 7, 9, 10 and 13 -- returned they found a note on the door, saying "Mom and dad are hurt, please call 911," CBS 2's Carolyn Gusoff reported.
The children called police and when officers arrived, they made the awful discovery -- the mother was dead in the kitchen and the father was dead upstairs, WCBS 880's Hall reported.
"We have gone to their block party all the time. It goes to show you that you don't know what goes on behind other people's doors," one neighbor told Hall.
I've driven by this block many times," North Bellmore resident Sarah Cole told CBS 2's Gusoff. "I always see maybe two, three little kids running around and they seemed very happy."
