December 20, 201411 yr 2 NYPD cops shot dead ?execution style? in Brooklyn | New York Post Two uniformed NYPD officers were shot dead — execution style — as they sat in their marked police car on a Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, street corner. According to preliminary reports, both officers were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill when they were shot point-blank by a single gunman who approached their car at the corner of Myrtle and Tompkins avenues. “It’s an execution,” one law enforcement source told The Post of the 3 p.m. shooting. The gunman just started “pumping bullets” into the patrol car, another source said. The suspected gunman fled to a nearby subway station at Myrtle and Willoughby avenues, where he was fatally shot. Preliminary reports were unclear on whether he was shot by police or his own hand.

December 20, 201411 yr We live in a TERRIBLE world... The fact that this coward committed suicide makes this WAY worse, IMO. No justice can be served.
December 20, 201411 yr Very sad. Senseless. Unfortunate this probably won't be the last incident tied to the current unrest. The country is a powder keg right now.

December 21, 201411 yr I find it ironic that the races of the shooter and the cops are not mentioned in the story.
December 21, 201411 yr The shooter was a fugitive. He was wanted for the murder of his girlfriend earlier in the day on Saturday.
