A tragic incident occurred in a Queens home where a married father of three, Karamjit Multani, gunned down his younger brother, Vipanpal Multani, and injured their mother before committing suicide. Karamjit stormed into his brother’s room and shot him in the torso before fleeing the home. He was later found a mile away with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and a gun next to him. The brothers’ mother was also grazed by the bullets but survived with non-life-threatening injuries, while Vipanpal succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
A neighbor of the Multani family described how Vipanpal asked him not to let him die as he held him in his hands before he passed away. The murder-suicide was a shocking and devastating event for the family, as it followed a quiet evening that started with a family dinner of pizza. The father of the brothers, who was left devastated by the incident, expressed confusion over what could have motivated Karamjit to kill his younger brother. The family was unaware that Karamjit possessed a gun and were taken by surprise by the violence that occurred.
The father admitted that he had no knowledge of a specific reason behind the attack, as Karamjit did not display any signs of aggression towards the family prior to the incident. Despite some minor disagreements between the brothers, there were no major problems within the family that could have led to such a violent outburst. Karamjit, who was a financially stable individual, left behind a wife and three young children, leaving many questioning what could have driven him to commit such a heinous act.
The tragic event left the family and the community in shock as they struggled to come to terms with the loss of both brothers in such a violent manner. The incident serves as a reminder of the devastating impact of gun violence on families and communities, as well as the importance of addressing mental health issues and conflict resolution in preventing such tragedies. The Multani family’s story highlights the need for greater awareness and support for individuals experiencing mental health challenges to prevent future incidents of domestic violence and family tragedies.
