Two NYPD officers have died after being shot ambush-style as they sat in their patrol car in Brooklyn, law enforcement sources say. One of the sources said both officers were shot in the head.
The alleged shooter was found dead in a nearby subway station from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to a law enforcement official.
The shooting took place in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. Both officers were rushed to Woodhull hospital. At least one of the officers was shot in the head, police said.
The shooting comes at a time when police are being heavily criticized for their tactics following the chokehold death of Eric Garner. Several officers have been assaulted at New York City protests during demonstrations that have largely been peaceful.
No other details were immediately available.

Interesting to know if these officers signed the letter asking DeBlasio not to attend their funerals.
Where’s a statement from the obhama in the whute house?
Chirlane McCray & Eric Witholder must be euphoric! Their dream has come true! Their incitement has paid off big time! Two “pigs” (as per killers post) have been gunned down! Black rage is the new way. Its pay back time against white folks! Its time for the Evil WHITE folks to start paying reparations as well!
There is no question, that Bill Bratton should be arrested and thrown in prison, just as soon as he gets back from yet another Mosod honoring him, for his dereliction of duty in protecting HIS OWN Police officers!!!
Liberalism has won! Thank you “askanim” for supporting that piece of trash in City Hall. The checks went thru?
“Eric Witholder must be euphoric”
Only people who know that they have no rational argument engage in namecalling. But for the record, here is Eric Holder’s response:|
“This cowardly attack underscores the dangers that are routinely faced by those who protect and serve their fellow citizens. As a nation we must not forget this as we discuss the events of the recent past. These courageous men and women routinely incur tremendous personal risks, and place their lives on the line each and every day, in order to preserve public safety.”
Bill Bratton should be arrested and thrown in prison”
You object to the horrible assassination of two law enforcement officers yet you would also throw an elected official into prison even though he has committed no crime?
