Two NYPD officers ambushed in Brooklyn


An African American gunman with an apparent grudge killed two New York police officers in a cold-blooded attack after weeks of outrage over police killings of unarmed black men.

The two uniformed officers, one a newlywed, were shot in the head through the window of their patrol car in broad daylight in Brooklyn on Saturday, Dec. 20th in an attack that left America's biggest city reeling just days before Christmas.

Police named the shooter as 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley, who shot and seriously wounded his ex-girlfriend in Baltimore early Saturday before driving to Brooklyn to murder the two officers. (AFP)
