Very sad and maddening news.
Two NYPD officers were shot and killed as they sat in their patrol car today in Brooklyn.
They were reportedly working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill when they were shot point-blank in their heads by a lone gunman who approached them on foot from the sidewalk at the corner of Myrtle and Tompkins avenues in Bed-Stuy.
Neither the officers nor the gunman, who killed himself while being pursued by other officers, have yet been identified to the media.
The gunman is said to have been a fugitive who had just murdered his girlfriend in Baltimore.
It's being speculated by some in the NYPD that the execution was revenge for the Garner choking death, but that's not confirmed.
More details should be released soon; once family members of the deceased are notified.
