A New York cop was “assassinated” while sitting in her marked NYPD vehicle in what Commissioner James O’Neill called an “unprovoked attack.”
Officials said the attack unfolded in the Bronx while the officer was sitting in her vehicle with her partner. Her partner radioed for help while other officers spotted the suspect and began chasing him. The suspect died during a confrontation with the police.
The Governor said that “This horrific and senseless assassination is a devastating reminder of the risks these brave men and women face each day.”
