New York City police pressed forward Sunday in investigating the deaths of four children and a woman who were stabbed at a Brooklyn residence, saying a person of interest had been taken into custody.
A barefoot man was taken from the house in handcuffs after the incident, his feet covered in blood, reports WCBS in New York. He was brought to Brooklyn's 66th Precinct at around 11 p.m. on Saturday night.
In addition to the five dead, a sixth person is in critical condition, reports WCBS.
Officers arrived at the scene and found all five victims unconscious and unresponsive, police said. A 1-year-old boy and two girls, ages 7 and 9, were pronounced dead at the residence by emergency responders.
A boy, 5, and the 37-year-old woman were taken to two Brooklyn hospitals where they were pronounced dead, police said.
Authorities put Indiana University on lockdown early Sunday and warned of a person with a knife on campus.
"Armed individual at large on campus. Take shelter in nearest room," the university said on its Twitter account. "All of campus should be considered in danger."
The ordeal started around 4 a.m., when three men were involved in a fight at an on-campus building, said Mark Land, the university's associate vice president of communications.
"One of the people involved in the fight pulled a knife and slashed another person.
Four people are stabbed, including a child, after a fight broke out in Gary, Indiana.

All of them were stabbed in the leg or hands and a 4-year-old was stabbed in the foot.
Police are investigating.
