A RETIRED cop who gunned down his teenage daughters and killed himself completed one final selfish act to inflict pain on his surviving wife and child.
Glen Hochman, who spent 22 years as a New York police officer, executed daughters Alissa, 17, and Deanna, 13, in their sleep on Saturday before killing the three family dogs and then turning the gun on himself.

Hochman, 52, spared his wife Anamarie DiPietro-Hochman, 50, and his 22-year-old daughter Samantha. A suicide note reportedly revealed how he chose who would die but the contents of that note have note been made public.
Any notion however that took mercy on Anamarie and Samathana has been dispelled by retirement papers he filed on January 30, there weeks before the killings, that intentionally left them out of receiving his pension.
"It's the most selfish final insult," said a family friend from Harrison. "It's reckless and insulting for any man to leave their family high and dry like that, by choosing the zero option on their pension.
"But for him to do that and then kill his children, that's pure evil. He effectively stole the future away from the family he left behind."

Mrs DiPietro-Hochman and Samantha had been away on an overnight trip to a casino at the time of the murders.
Harrison police Chief Anthony Marraccini said Hochman wrote in the note that the "two girls were taken away" and explained why.
The suicide note was reportedly "hateful" and challenged Mrs DiPietro-Hochman to be financially responsible even though he knew she would be broke.

Mr Marraccini refused to be more specific on what the suicide note said.
"I'm not sure that anybody can ever understand how a person kills his children. It's just something that's not comprehensible," he said. "It's difficult, especially when you see two young girls, their lives have been ripped away, brutally murdered."
"You can't get any rationale for that. I can't believe this man took his daughters' life. Even initially at the scene, we looked for other explanations, possibly because the act is just so incredibly bad. But unfortunately, I haven't come up with any other explanations," he said.
Community helping out ... A GoFundMe page has helped raised donations for Anamarie DiPietro-Hochman and daughter, Samantha. Picture: Supplied Source: Supplied
It is known that Mrs DiPietro-Hochman had gone to police the day before saying she wanted to document a verbal dispute the couple had the day before over an $80 phone bill. She did not report any threats of violence and did not want the matter pursued.
Hochman had no history of violence or a police record and had not been drinking at the time of the shootings.
A GoFundMe page had raised more than $90,000 for Mrs DiPietro-Hochman and Samantha in just three days.
