The killer shot his girlfriend earlier today before heading to New York City to murder two officers execution style.
Check out these tweets from his instagram account:
We have all these gun restrictions in NYC and this guy came in with a gun and killed two officers.
Update: 17:00: Both officers are dead. The killer shot himself when cornered by police on a train according to CBS News. The NYPD has confirmed their deaths. The killer is now confirmed dead.
The killer is a 28-year old from Baltimore. According to the NY Post, the police believe it was a revenge killing for the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

Update: Update: 16:00 EST: The Post is reporting that both officers have died. 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. They were executed.
Update: One officer was fatally wounded and the other is in critical condition. Recently the police union offered the opportunity to the officers to request Mayor de Blasio not attend their funeral should they be killed. De Blasio has thrown the entire NYPD under the bus in favor of the violent protesters roaming New York City.
What the police officers and their families have to endure right now is far more than what we have the right to ask of them. They go out on the streets every day, risking their lives to protect some of the very people who want to kill them.
It’s a minority of people like Sharpton and De Blasio who are ruling and turning the world upside down, glorifying the irrational and the violent, demeaning the people who are protecting us from them.
We should respect these men and women in blue. We have a very fine police force in New York City and the treatment of them over one death is abominable and it’s being led by a minority of madmen.
The officers were shot execution style according to the NY Post.
The killer was said to have shot himself as cops engaged but that is from early reporting.

Original Story: Two police officers were shot while sitting in their patrol cars in Bedford Stuyvesant at about 3PM today. They are reported to be in grave condition. At least one officer is thought to have been shot in the head, possibly both.
“The perp came out of the houses, walked up behind the car and lit them up,” a high-ranking police official told the Daily News.
Four witnesses confirmed.
The suspect was shot.
Will Al Sharpton get out and criticize the person who shot innocent cops? Will the mayor call it an alleged shooting? Are we going to see a race war spurred on by those fools?
The precinct is asking for prayers.
