Two NYPD cops were shot when a suspect ambushed them as they sat in a patrol car in Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon, police sources and witnesses said.
The shooting took place outside of the Tompkins Houses, near Myrtle Ave. and Tompkins Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant, about 3 p.m., cop sources said.
“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.
At least four witnesses who saw the shooting provided an identical account to a Daily News reporter, but declined to provide their names.
Both officers were rushed to Woodhull Hospital. Their conditions were not immediately clear.
“One is not doing so great,” another police source said. “He was hit in the head.”
Witness Sarah Khan, 22, said the suspect, after shooting the two cops, ran about a block to the Myrtle-Willoughby Aves. subway station, with officers in pursuit.
A second witness, who asked to remain anonymous, said at least one officer shot the suspect inside the station.
Police officials could not immediately confirm that.
Paramedics brought the suspect out from the subway station on a stretcher and were performing CPR.

Great day in america
You should be expecting this.
Tragic 😦
Al Sharpton and all his clowns should be ashamed of themselves ….
An eye for an eye. These people in law enforcement do NOT HAVE THE RIGHT to murder someone and not be held accountable. We pay these law enforcement officials to protect us and serve us. They are PUBLIC SERVANTS. When the the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty. If you believe for one second that you can stand behind a badge and get away with murder. Just remember there are more people like this man who will kill a few cops and not think twice about it. Killing civilians is wrong, killing cops is also wrong but, if these people can’t get justice for the deaths and police brutality well, then they are going to take justice into their own hands.
