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.

“They engaged the guy and he did himself,” one investigator said.

“I heard shooting, — four or five shots,” ear-witness Derrick McKie, 49, told The Post.

“It sounded like from a single gun,” he said. Ambulances and police cars rushed to the scene, he said.

“I saw an officer being put on a stretcher,” he said. “There was lots of chaos and confusion.”

Carmen Jimenez, 32, a social worker from Bedford-Stuyvesant, was on the subway platform when the gunman ran inside, pursued by officers.

“Everything happened so quick,” said Jimenez, who is eight months pregnant. “We were standing waiting for the G train. We heard arguing from the other end of the platform.

It looked like two cops came in there was lots of yelling and they said, ‘Everybody get down.’

“We tried to get out of there, and there was a lot of shouting, people were screaming, people were trying to run.

“I threw myself on the floor. I was afraid for my life and afraid for my baby.”

it seems that attacking established authority figures in Western society is the route that terrorists are using in order to create a sense of chaos. It also makes the police more paranoid of average normal citizens causing the effect to be multiplied causing more riots in the streets.

It's like a script out of a bad Schwarzenegger or Stallone movie.

Two New York policemen 'assassinated'

Two New York policemen 'assassinated'



New York (AFP) - Two New York police officers were shot dead in broad daylight as they sat in a patrol car by an assailant who then killed himself, officials and reports said.

"Today, two of New York's finest were shot and killed with no warning, no provocation," police commissioner Bill Bratton told a news conference. "They were quite simply assassinated."

The shootings, just days before Christmas, follow weeks of protests condemning a series of deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of white police officers and decisions by grand juries not to prosecute those responsible.

The two officers were shot at 2:50 pm (1950 GMT) at the corner of Myrtle and Tompkins avenues in Brooklyn's gentrifying neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant, police spokesman Sergeant Lee Jones told AFP.

But various city police precincts wrote messages on Twitter saying that the two officers had died, offering condolences and prayers for their fallen colleagues.

"My thoughts are with the families of the NYPD officers shot in the line of duty, in an act of horrific violence," wrote New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. "We all mourn this tragedy."

The two officers were shot dead while sitting in their patrol car, local media reported. The assailant fled on foot before shooting himself in the head in a subway station. He was later pronounced dead.

"People are pretty shaken up," eyewitness Mike Isaacs told CNN.

"The mood is pretty freaked out, you know, a few people were saying it could be anyone."

- Social media boast -

New York Daily News named the attacker as 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley, purportedly a gang member from Baltimore who first shot and wounded his girlfriend there before driving to Brooklyn.

Local media said the shooter boasted on his purported Instagram account just hours before the attack that he would kill police officers.

"They Take 1 Of Ours... Let's Take 2 of Theirs," read a comment next to a photo of a silver handgun, referencing the deaths at the hands of police of Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

Garner, an unarmed father of six, died after police held him in a chokehold while he was being arrested for selling illegal cigarettes in New York last July.

Brown, an 18-year-old in the Ferguson suburb of St Louis, Missouri, was shot dead by a police officer in August, sparking months of protests.

Grand jury decisions not to indict either white officer responsible triggered mass protests in New York and other US cities.

Civil rights activist Al Sharpton, who has used Garner and Brown's deaths to campaign for sweeping police reform, said he was outraged by Saturday's killings.

He said his National Action Network saw non-violence as the only way to fight for justice.

- 'Point-blank range' -

"An eye for an (eye) leaves the whole world blind. We all at NAN express our prayers and condolences to the families of the 2 NYC officers," he wrote on Twitter.

The New York Post said the officers were shot at point-blank range as they wore their uniforms and sat in their marked police car while working overtime as part of a counterterrorism drill.

"I heard shooting -- four or five shots," Derrick McKie, 49, told the Post. "It sounded like from a single gun," he said.

"I seen them putting the cop in the ambulance. He looked messed up," added McKie, a barber. "He took a high-caliber weapon to the face. He was lifeless.

Widespread dissatisfaction in relations between police and blacks have been inflamed not just by the Brown and Garner deaths.

Last month, a rookie police officer fatally shot Akai Gurley, an unarmed 28-year-old black man, in the stairwell of a Brooklyn apartment building.

A 12-year-old black boy holding a toy gun was also shot dead by police officers in a playground in Ohio in November.

"It's been sort of strange around here. Pretty tense since the protests have been occurring in New York City," said Isaacs, the witness.

"And so, you know, everyone's pretty shaken up and just trying to figure out what happened."

Shooter of two NYPD officers identified as Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28, of Baltimore

Two NYPD police officers identified as Wenjin Liu and Raphael Ramos were ambushed and slain "execution style" Saturday. The shooter was identified by NYPD Police Commissioner Bill Bratton as 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley.

The lone gunman who walked up to a Brooklyn patrol car and opened fire, killing two New York City police officers, has been identified as a Balitmore man who posted chilling anti-cop messages to social media Saturday before driving up to New York to carry out his threats.

New York City Police Commissioner Bill Bratton, speaking at a press conference Saturday night, confirmed the identity of the shooter as 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley. He also identified the two slain cops as Wenjian Liu and Raphael Ramos.

According to Balitmore police, Brinsley shot and wounded his girlfriend there earlier Saturday before traveling to Brooklyn, Bratton said. The woman's mother contacted New York City police, to warn them of Brinsley's plans, but the message came too late to save the two cops.

Bratton said Brinsley took a shooting stance on the passenger side of the police cruiser and fired several times striking both officers in the head. The pair, he said, never had the chance to draw their own weapons and may never have seen their assailant.

Unfortunately, New York has effectively repealed the death penalty. This punk could benefit enormously from a rope-burn.
