A Queens man is facing murder, arson and weapons charged for allegedly fatally stabbing his mother-in-law and knifing her teen son in a drunken rage this week, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Weisheng Chen was hit with six counts of murder, four counts of weapons possession, two counts of arson and four counts of assault Saturday for the alleged rampage<\/a>, during which he also set their Flushing home on fire, cops said.<\/p>\n

Chen, 27, was reportedly going through a divorce and had been drinking before launching the deadly assault<\/a> just before 4 p.m. Thursday at the home on Smart Street near 45th Avenue in Flushing.<\/p>\n

Weisheng Chen, 27, is accused of killing his mother-in-law and wounding her teen son at the family\u2019s shared Flushing home on Thursday. Brigitte Stelzer<\/p>\n

He allegedly stabbed Qiujin Shi, 50, then turned the knife on Shi\u2019s 17-year-old son, stabbing him in the face and armpit, before lighting a mattress ablaze and slitting his own wrists, cop sources said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the victims ran outside screaming, catching the attention of a nearby Port Authority cop who rendered first aid and called authorities, the sources said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mother and son were taken to NewYork Presbyterian Hospital, where Shi succumbed to her injuries, police said. The teen was last listed in stable condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chen was hospitalized after the bloody episode, and remained there Saturday, sources said.<\/p>\n

Qiujin Shi, 50, who was previously described as \u201cthe boss\u201d of the family home, was fatally stabbed during the rampage. Brigitte Stelzer<\/p>\n

Relatives heard a bang and screaming on the day of the mayhem before finding the wounded, bleeding victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had my VR headset on, so I couldn\u2019t really hear anything in the beginning. But then I heard loud yelling, and then they yelled quite a bit. So I came out to find out what exactly is happening,\u201d said 20-year-old Guqing Zhang.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s when I saw them\u2026[the teen] bloodied on the stairs and everyone was panicking\u2026and I went to open the door and I went in [the room] and I saw my aunt on the floor, not moving,\u201d he recalled. \u201cAnd then they said there was a guy with a knife inside.\u201d<\/p>\n

His sister Rouxin Lin, 16, heard an \u201cexplosion.\u201d <\/p>\n

Chen remained at the hospital Saturday, where he was taken following the deadly incident, cops said. Brigitte Stelzer<\/p>\n

\u201cI smelled some smoke when I got to the stairs and I saw my cousin sitting on the staircase, bleeding, blood all over his body. That\u2019s all I saw. After that, my brother just told me to go back downstairs. So I just stood downstairs until the police came,\u201d Lin said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were talking about a divorce, from what I\u2019ve heard. I don\u2019t know why. Like, everything was fine before. This is the first time this happened. I never heard any fighting upstairs. Never. It\u2019s always calm,\u201d the girl continued, and remembered her aunt as a \u201creally kind person\u201d and excellent cook.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chen\u2019s arraignment in Queens Criminal Court was pending Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Queens man is facing murder, arson and weapons charged for allegedly fatally stabbing his mother-in-law and knifing…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":279037,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,8339,5248,27813,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,5257,4413,8626,67,586,132,5230,68,1154,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-279036","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-arson","10":"tag-metro","11":"tag-murders","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkcity","16":"tag-ny","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-nypd","19":"tag-queens","20":"tag-stabbings","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-us-news","27":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115320450232519752","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
