Final Roll Call 4153. STLCO 10-42 10/13 @ 1519
"Harrison Investigators continued talking with neighbors and gathering evidence Sunday, one day after a retired White Plains police officer was believed to have killed his two daughters before killing himself.
"At this point, we're trying to evaluate everything," Harrison Police Chief Anthony Marraccini said Sunday. The former officer, Glen Hochman, 52, was found dead Saturday along with daughters Alissa Hochman, 17, and Deanna Hochman, 13, at the family home at 1 Adelphi Ave.
Marraccini said three dogs also were found dead.
Police tape surrounded the home, where sources say Hochman killed the girls, his two youngest daughters, on Sunday. A Harrison police car was parked in front, and the New Rochelle Humane Society was on the scene.
Marraccini said a weapon, believed to be used in the killings, was recovered. "As of now, it would appear that both victims were shot, as was their father," he said. Investigators are awaiting word from the Westchester County Medical Examiner's Office on the exact cause of death, Marraccini said.
Marraccini said Anamarie Hochman, Glen Hochman's wife, and Samantha Hochman, the couple's oldest daughter, were not home when the deaths occurred. He said someone else reported the incident, and it was his understanding that police found the victims.

Glen Hochman was a decorated officer when he retired from the White Plains Police Department in January. He was one of several officers to be presented in May with his department's Lifesaving Award.
David Chong, White Plains public safety commissioner, said Hochman proudly served the city for more than 20 years.
"The department is shocked and horrified by the news of this unfathomable tragedy," Chong said in a statement. "We can only pray for the family. Officer Hochman served this department and the city of White Plains with honor and integrity for over 22 years."
Hochman suffered an Achilles' injury in early May when he fell while helping a disabled motorist. He missed a few months of work before returning. He had passed 20 years on the job, so he was planning for retirement, said his union lawyer, Warren Roth. Hochman sought a disability retirement because of the injury but had not been depressed over it, Roth said.
Roth had known Hochman for more than 25 years, even before he became a cop, since both worked as EMTs with the Harrison ambulance corps. Roth got a call to go over to the Hochman residence Saturday once the union was contacted."
