Three babies were among five people stabbed at a suspected birthing center in New York City early Friday, police and officials said.

The victims were found just before 4 a.m. inside what police described as a private residence housing what initially appeared to be a childcare facility in the Flushing neighborhood of the city's borough of Queens. Investigators now believe the home may have been a birthing center, which partially served as a place for immigrant women to deliver babies in the United States.

There were nine infants inside the multifamily home, three of whom had been stabbed, including a baby girl who is just three days old, police said.

A man and a woman were also found inside the house with stab wounds. All five victims were rushed to local hospitals in critical but stable condition, police said.

1. It was a daycare (or night care) center. What makes it a 'birthing' center?

Tragic story but trying to sensationalize it is strange.
Some parents need to work nights. Sad but true.

2. The babies were super young. I thought that was strange.

I've never heard of a day care with three day old babies. I'm thinking it was some sort of birthing center.

5. No, did not see that.

Still don’t find it strange.
Immigrants need to work to survive.
Kudos to these women! I doubt I could have done it.
