An Arkansas man knifed a woman to death in his home on Sunday, bludgeoned their 15-year-old son to death with a brick then sliced a responding officer’s throat before police shot him dead.
Police were responding to a call at 2819 Tilles Avenue, Fort Smith when they found 40-year-old Christopher ‘Cason’ Conner bludgeoning his 15-year-old son with a brick in the middle of the street.
Julie Moore, 42, the child’s mother, was found dead inside with multiple stab wounds. The relationship between Moore and Conner, and whether or not they lived together in the house, is unclear.
A five-year-old was found alive and safe inside the home, and has since been released to other family members.
Fort Smith police Chief Danny Baker said he ‘[had] no doubt that our officer’s swift actions saved [that] young child’s life.’

At a Sunday press conference, Chief Baker said that the 911 caller who alerted dispatchers to the ‘extremely violent attack’ said they ‘heard yelling and screaming and came outside to see a white male with no shirt assaulting a person on the ground.’
One of the responding police officers appeared to have convinced Conner to stop battering his son. But, when the officer attempted to restrain the assailant, however, he brandished a knife and ‘sliced the officer’s throat and neck.’
The officer then shot Conner twice, ‘killing him and ending the threat.’
The officer, who Baker said had been with the department for 16 months, required emergency surgery after the attack for ‘severe lacerations’ to his face and neck – he is now in stable condition. 
The 15-year-old boy was pronounced dead at the hospital. The teen victim he had ‘multiple stab wounds’ along with The injured cop and a second responding officer have been placed on paid leave while Arkansas State Police conduct an investigation into the officer-involved shooting.
