A retired White Plains cop who was recently feted for saving a man’s life murdered his two teenage daughters before killing himself in their Westchester home Saturday, officials said.
Glen Hochman, a 22-year veteran who left the White Plains Police Department in January — killed his daughters Alissa, 17, and Deanna, 13, in their upper-middle-class home on a snow-swept Adelphi Ave. in Harrison, authorities said.
The 52-year-old Hochman’s wife and a third daughter were out of town at the time.
Neighbors were stunned by the bloodshed.

“Adorable, sweet kids. Terrific ladies — all of them,” said Howard Hollander, 52, who lives a few houses away from the Hochmans. “I think we’re all shocked by what’s coming out here tonight. I just can’t say anything that would lead to this.”
Hollander described his neighbor as a quiet man who would politely say hello when he was out walking the family dog.
“He was kind of a to-himself kind of guy,” the neighbor said.

RICHARD HARBUS FOR NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Retired White Plains officer Glen Hochman killed two teenage daughters before killing himself, authorities said.
Hollander said he knew Hochman was a White Plains cop, but he didn’t know he’d retired.
The Harrison Community School District issued a statement Saturday night, calling the slayings an “incomprehensible tragedy.”
Hochman served with “honor and integrity” and had an unblemished record, White Plains Public Safety Commissioner David Chong said.

“The department is shocked and horrified by the news of this unfathomable tragedy,” Chong said in a statement provided to the Daily News. “We can only pray for the family.”
Harrison police were investigating the apparent murder-suicide Saturday night and did not return calls.
Hochman and another officer were honored with the White Plains Police Department’s Life Saving Award in May 2014 for racing into the home of a dying man and saving his life with CPR and oxygen.
Some neighbors hinted that the retired cop was having marital problems, News 12 Westchester reported.
