The Kids were home when their cop dad killed Mom. Then he turned the gun on himself .
Police tape marks the area off limits at the scene of a murder-suicide in the Town of Highlands yesterday where a Port Authority policeman shot and killed his wife and himself.
Fort Montgomery — The call came in Monday night as a domestic dispute at the Hudson View Terrace Mobile Home Park, just north of the Town of Highlands Police Department.
Minutes later, two officers pulled up alongside No. 86, a tidy, gray single-wide with festive Halloween signs planted in the lawn and a smiling paper skeleton on the door.
As the officers headed up the walkway, the front door swung open and four kids bolted outside, hollering for help.
Then the shooting started.
Officers had "no idea what they were walking into," said Officer-in-charge Randall Bailey.
What his cops walked into was the sad ending of an apparent murder-suicide. The frightened children's parents, police said, were dead on the kitchen floor.
