An armed man walked up to two New York Police Department officers sitting inside a patrol car and opened fire on Dec 20,2014 Saturday afternoon, shooting both of them fatally before running into a nearby subway station and committing suicide, police said.
The two officers who were ambushed and shot to death in their vehicle were “quite simply, assassinated,” and the suspect had made Instagram posts that were very anti-police, the city’s Police Commissioner said.
William Bratton said the officers, Liu Wenjin and Raphael Ramos, were shot in the head without warning after the gunman approached the passenger window of a marked police car and opened fire.
The suspect, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, then ran inside a Brooklyn subway station and fatally shot himself in the head.
