Two New York City police officers were “assassinated,” shot “execution-style” as they
Two New York City police officers were “assassinated,” shot “execution-style” as they sat in their patrol vehicle in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, city officials said.
NYPD Commissioner William Bratton said the two officers were shot with “no warning, no provocation.”
“Two of New York’s finest were shot and killed, with no warning, no provocation,” Bratton said. “They were quite simply assassinated — targeted for their uniform.”
Officers Wenjin Liu and Raphael Ramos were sitting in their vehicle shortly before 3 p.m. when a man approached the car on the passenger side, took a “shooter’s stance” and opened fire, Bratton said.
Liu and Ramos may have not even seen the gunman before they were shot, Bratton said.
The suspect — identified by police as Ismaayil Brinsley, 28 — then ran to a nearby subway entrance, with police in pursuit, the commissioner said.
Brinsley went down into the subway and ran onto the platform, where he shot himself in the head, killing himself, Bratton said.
So disturbing! Hope the vilification of the NYPD ends!!
