A mother of two has been found stabbed to death on her bed following an alleged domestic dispute in New York City.
Theresa Gregg, 37, was found dead in her Brooklyn home after being stabbed several times in the neck and torso.
The homeless shelter officer, who had two pre-teen girls, had held a special officer position with DHS since 2015.
Gregg’s 12-year-old twin daughters found their mother unconscious in her bedroom in Williamsburg around 8:20 a.m. Saturday morning and immediately called 911.
They were met by a gruesome scene when their mother’s stab wounds left bloodstains on her mattress and a pool of blood had collected on the bedroom floor.

It is believed the murder came after a violent altercation involving her partner, although police had not named a suspect as of Sunday night.
Neighbors said that Gregg, who had lived on the block for about six years, could often argue loudly with her boyfriend, with both sides raising their voices.
“I could hear them fighting, they were both screaming. They fight a lot. You can hear it pretty clearly,” said a neighbor New York Post. “I’m not sure how many times they fought, but it was a lot.”
On Sunday, local residents were left in shock after hearing of the incident.
Johanna Hidalgo, a resident who lives on the same block, said she was shocked, noting how nice and polite Gregg’s daughters were who she regularly encountered.
The woman was found Saturday by her young daughters at 356 Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn
NYPD Crime Scene Unit officers rushed to the scene to recover the body and gather evidence

“I was so scared yesterday. Her daughters are so sweet – every morning, they say good morning, they smile. “So beautiful, so respectful,” Hidalgo said The daily news.
“They were in high school, they’re twins, so they walked to school with their friends… Those girls were so sweet.”
“This is an absolutely heartbreaking tragedy. We are forever grateful to Agent Gregg for his invaluable contributions and tireless dedication to serving and supporting vulnerable New Yorkers,” said a spokesman for the Department of Homeless Services.
The president of Teamsters Local 237, which represents Department of Homeless Services police officers, Gregory Floyd, also paid tribute.
“We are saddened to hear of the murder of our DHS Officer at her home. She will be missed and we hope her attacker is caught and brought to justice soon.”
