Both officers have succumbed to gunshot wounds after being admitted to hospital in critical condition, authorities have confirmed.


"Both officers tragically succumbed to their injuries," Commissioner William Bratton of the New York City Police Department told the press. “Both officers paid the ultimate sacrifice today while protecting the communities they served.”



The two uniformed officers killed on duty were identified as Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos. They were sitting in their marked police car on a Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, street corner, allegedly working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill.


The attacker came up to their vehicle at around 3pm and shot multiple times through the front passenger window. Both officers suffered critical injuries to the head. Neither officer had a chance to protect themselves and most likely did not even see the attacker.


“With no warning, no provocation,” Bratton said. “They were, quite simply, assassinated."



The shooter then ran away into the subway where he committed suicide with the same gun, according to officials. He was taken to the hospital but proclaimed dead upon arrival.



The motives of the shooter were still under investigation, but officials said cops were “targeted for their uniforms.”


Police also confirmed the gunman, identified by police as Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28, was a fugitive who recently murdered his girlfriend in Baltimore. Several hours before the shooting the suspected gunman posted a picture of an automatic pistol with a message on Instagram.


“I’m Putting Wings on Pigs Today,” he wrote with hashtags #RIPErivGarner and #RIPMikeBrown. “They Take 1 Of Ours … Let’s Take 2 of Theirs.”



“This May Be My Final Post,” he concluded. The suspect’s Instagram account was blocked following the shooting.




The incident occurred as New York officers and police nationwide are being widely criticized for their brutal tactics against suspects, especially African Americans. Over the past weeks tens of thousands of Americans across the country joined in massive marches against the killing of unarmed black men by police.

The protesters spoke out against grand jury decisions not to indict the white officers responsible for the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. They staged rallies and ‘die-ins’ under the banners ‘Black Lives Matter’ and ‘Justice for All.’
