West Seneca family stabbings

WEST SENECA, N.Y. (WIVB) - A West Seneca father is accused of attacking his own 6-year-old son, with a knife.

West Seneca Police are still trying to make some sense of all this after a mother, father and son are all treated for stab wounds.

"I was so confused, because I didn't know what was going on," said Rita Garvey, who helped the stabbing victims.

It was about 8 p.m. Sunday, when a family of six and their dog showed up on Rita's Garvey's porch on Collins Avenue in West Seneca.

"The little boy was bleeding. His chest was all blood, and she pulled him in the house. He's like 6 years old, a little tiny fella," said Garvey.

They all ran there from their home around the corner on Indian Church Road. That's where the father, 31-year-old Corey Cochran is accused of stabbing his son in the chest, and that was only the beginning.

"The mother interceded, she fought with the husband, was able to take the knife away from the husband. The husband apparently gained access to a second knife. Another struggle ensued. She was able to disarm him with a second knife. She ended up stabbing him several times," said Chief Ed Gehen, of West Seneca Police.

Then the mother was able to get her four children together and run down the street. The father even followed them to the house around the corner.

"He just stood there and he just kinda didn't know what was going on, that's what it looked like," said Garvey.

But police showed up soon after, arrested him and treating the boy. Six-year-old Dalton Cochran is now in stable condition at Women and Children's Hospital. His mother Rebecca Cochran was treated and released from ECMC with wounds to her hands.

The father Corey Cochran is at ECMC, with non-life-threatening injuries.

"It's terrible to hear that families can be in domestic violence like that right close to our area like this," said their neighbor, Sue Ellen Yetter.

Sometime Monday, at ECMC, a State Supreme Court Justice is expected to arraign Corey Cochran on Attempted Murder in the Second degree, and Criminal Possession of a weapon.
