At somebody be mad at the person that youre mad at. We have two people missing their families for the holidays. I know theres war going on and everybody else lost somebody but youre not at his house or his lawn. This is true. You dont even know if they were good or bad. I dont condone this. Im not with it. Im not with it. Again, repeating two new York Police Officers have been shot dead. Its a fastmoving story so lets get more now from our cnn producer. Take us through exactly what we know of what happened. Well, we know that the two officers were sitting in their, you know, marked nypd patrol car when a gunman for no apparent reason came up to the car and started firing shots. Fired several shots hitting both officers in the head. One, you know, was instantly critically injured. The other was seriously injured. And, you know, the gunman was later found dead. You know, by all accounts it just appears to be a complete, you know, ambushstyle shooting. These officers were not, you know, in any way looking for this man. Were not engaged with this man in any way. But he just came up to them and started firing at them. Started shooting at them. And really leaving the officers no chance it appears to respond to fire at him. You know, but were waiting to hear exactly more on sort of the sequence of events. But, you know, these officers were just sitting in their car, you know, in this brooklyn neighborhood, you know, which has seen, you know, some crime but has seen some drastic reduction in crime, you know, recently. And, you know, just by all accounts a very tragic, tragic day for the nypd which has been under a lot of scrutiny lately and this certainly, you know, couldnt come at a worse time for them. Right. And that raises the question, i wonder was anything said. Did any witness hear anything that might have given us a mindset of the shooter. No. There doesnt appear to be right now, you know, early on when i spoke to a Law Enforcement official here in new york, you know, he indicated that they were just sitting in their cars and they were ambushed. Like, nothing was said. Its not clear, you know, yet if the shooting occurred from the back of their vehicle, the side, the front. How exactly, you know, where the suspect fired the gun from. But, you know, you can tell by, you know, certainly some of the sources that ive been talking to that these officers were just ambushed. They were just sitting there patrolling, going through the neighborhood. They were sort of in a what a sort of Critical Response kind of vehicle. They sort of responded to different kind of, like, crimes in the neighborhood. And, you know, thats basically all they were doing. They were just doing their job sitting in their car. Well ask you to stand by. The suspects did come here from baltimore, so, you know, that the police are still trying to learn more about him and have made some progress in learning about him and, you know, are starting to formulate a theory as to why this happened but its not anything that theyre ready to publicly discuss right now. Okay. Interesting where he came from. Our cnn producer on the scene thro. Hell continue to keep us posted. I want to bring in harry hawke hes a former new York Police Officer. And first of all, i guess, we should express our condolences to the police force and definitely the families of the officers. You must hear something. What are you hearing . Is this a random incident or Something Else . What im hearing from my contacts is the shooter had killed himself and that he was wanted in baltimore for another killing and when he was in baltimore he had said that he was going to go up to new york and kill a cop and apparently he got his wish. And what really has me upset is all these demonstrations that weve been having here all been predicated on lies. No justice, no peace. We have two dead Police Officers. And i guess al sharpton got what he wanted. Your feeling is, of course, that the protest in some way incited this man to do what he did. No doubt about it. Everybody is talking about killing a cop. You got to take a cop out for eric garner. This is this is why this person was motivated to do this. Theres no doubt in my mind. I was a detective for 27 years and, believe me, that was definitely in this mans mind. We should point out harry hawke a former u. S. Police officer and i dont believe the information as to the motive has been verified as yet but i certainly understand why you express the feelings you do. Let me ask you this, you know, there is a great deal of friction between the Police Department and the mayor of new york city. How is that going to impact, say, the next coming days . Im thinking about, of course, a funeral and also talk of investigation. Well, i tell you what, if those two officers signed that piece of paper saying if they were killed in the line of duty that they didnt want the mayor to show up, the Police Department and the officers are not going to want the mayor to show up because the mayor did not show, you know, any kind of real leadership by backing his Police Department at all. All right. Harry, how long do you think it is going to take for the department to figure out exactly what happened here . Well, its probably not going to take too long. It looks like the perpetrators now dead. Theyre just probably cleaning up a lot of the information that theyre getting im hearing. Theyre probably in contact with baltimore pd trying to find out more about the perpetrator in this case. And we should know probably by morning probably just about everything we need to know. And the information you have regarding the suspect from baltimore and the threats made, when did all that happen . Well, apparently it had happened sometime tonight or sometime yesterday as far as i dont know the exact time when that information came through. But i did call my contacts in the department to try to find out some information about it and thats the information they had given me and the Police Department was still working on it. I mean, clearly we would all want to know how is it possible that a suspect, then, would be on the loose to come to new york to carry out an attack as is believed to have happened. Right. So im only assuming that he had just probably committed that shooting and made his way up here and then he even though he was wanted, of course, you know, the police were probably on his trail probably had no idea he was on his way up here. The fact that the shooter killed himself, does that tell you anything about an insight into mind set or why he did what he did . He probably i mean, i dont know about that killing in baltimore, you know, how he was related to that. You know, like i said, this hasnt i just got this information from people that i know still on the job. Right. But i guess it was in it was probably his intention to kill himself anyway so he probably figured in his mind, well, let me take out two cops or a cop or so and he saw a target when he made his way up here. And now weve got two dead Police Officers. All right, harry. Thank you very much. Harry houck is a former new York Police Officer and i want to now bring in mike isaac. He is a witness. He lives just a short distance away from where this happened. Mike, what do you know . Hey there. So, yeah, i live probably about a block from where the shooting occurred. And right now the police have blocked off a few square blocks around the myrtle, willoughby subway stop in bedstuy. I talked to two witnesses who said shortly after the shooting there was a train coming in from underground and police came into the station and held everyone for 30 to 45 minutes while they were looking for this shooter. Right now things have pretty much died down except for, you know, they still have a lot of a lot of the area blocked off and local police arent really speaking to reporters or passersby at the moment. Mike isiaac joining us on th telephone talking about where the shooting took place. To remind our viewers two new york city Police Officers have been shot dead. Reportedly while sitting in their police car. It was described as an am bushstyle shooting with both officers shot in the head. Michael, what is the feeling in the neighborhood there . I imagine people are horrified. Yeah. Its pretty people are pretty shaken up. I was just in a bodega across the street from where everything is blocked off and, you know, the mood is pretty pretty freaked out, you know, a few people were saying, you know, it could be anyone. The its been sort of strange around here. Pretty tense since the protests have been occurring in new york city. And so, you know, everyones pretty shaken up and just trying to figure out what happened. A lot of people cant get back to their home. Im actually not able to get into my house right now where its sort of blocked off by the police. But, you know, its everyones a little bit freaked out down here. For those who dont necessarily know this neighborhood, outside of new york, how would you describe it . Yeah, so i mean, you know, its its a pretty bedstuy is a pretty sprawling area. Predominantly africanamerican. You know, the marcie projects right down here. And theres a pretty good Police Presence here for the past year. So and i havent, you know at least since ive lived here there have not been a lot of crimes near me. But its pretty sprawling. And right now its been a little tense. One man in the liquor store that i was in a minute ago was just talking about how tense relations have been lately, again, since the protests have been happening in manhattan after the ferguson the incidents in ferguson occurred recently. Right. And the grand jury ruling on eric garner and the decision not to go forward with prosecution. All right, mike isaac, thank you very much. A witness in the neighborhood where the shooting took place. And, again, two new york city Police Officers in uniform and sitting in their nypd patrol car were shot ambush style today in brooklyn.

Org hello, im Martin Savidge in new york where the news is breaking out of the city. Two new york city Police Officers in uniform sitting in their nypd patrol car were shot in what was described as ambush style today in brooklyn. We are told that both officers were shot in the head and both have died from their wounds. Were also told that the suspected gunman has been found dead. Heres how one witness described the scene. No, she just told me that, you know, they got shot in the car, whatever, they were sitting there. But my whole thing is we got to take back our communities. This cant happen. If you mad at somebody, be mad at the person youre mad at. Now we have two families that missing somebody for the holidays, regardless of what, wheres your humanity. I know theres a war going on and shots in eric Garner Family and everybody lost his family but youre not at his house and lawn. You dont even know if they were good or bad. I dont condone this and im not with it. Im not with it. We want to bring in tom fuentes who is our cnn Law Enforcement correspondent and analyst, and he is joining us from washington, d. C. . Tom, certainly, this has to be looked at in the troubling framework of demonstrations that have been held largely against the Police Department. Have you heard anything as to possible motive or where this investigation might begin . No, martin. They dont have the specifics yet that they want to put out, but just in general, if it turns out to be related to, you know, whats been going on in the news the past few months, this is something friends of mine in Law Enforcement especially uniform Police Officers have been almost bracing for because there has been so many people expressing so much anger at the police that even if the even if the Peaceful Protesters didnt express or didnt carry out any kind of a physical act, they were worried that someone or someones would be inspired to do it. And figure that Police Officers are fair game right now to kill, that theyre the enemy. Theyve taken over. Theyve taken over our neighborhoods and theyre hurting our people and killing our people and doing it for no good reason. And that there was no justice in their view since Police Officers are not going to prison for having engaged in a Police Involved shooting and shot an africanamerican. And so thats been the fear that the anger would spill over to someone who would carry out an act and do Something Like this. Harry houck is also joining us on the telephone. Hes a former nypd police officer. Harry, i guess i will ask you prior to this incident had those feelings that tom fuentes just described, the sense in the new york pd, that this was bound to happen, was that a feeling . Definitely i agree with everything that tom had said here, you know, officers ive been waiting for Something Like this to happen, although i didnt want it to happen, but all it takes is one lunatic to take that message into his brain somewhere and then go out and commit a crime like this. Its just horrible. And like i said, its, you know, we kind of turn a little louder . This might happen. And, tom, the reaction is bound to be quick across the country as far as Law Enforcement, putting them even more on edge. Do you expect that in some way they would be a federal directive or investigation or is this all going to be kept within local Police Departments . I think for right now this ones an nypd matter to investigate and try to determine what the motive was if they could if they can Contact People that knew this person and if he used social media and, you know, other means of communicating a desire to kill Police Officers. And in particular nypd officers. So, you know, that all remained to be seen. It wont be a federal matter at this point to look into this unless theres a wider conspiracy to kill Police Officers all over the country. That you know, that certainly would be something worth analyzing. But for now i think this is an nypd matter. It was mentioned that perhaps the suspect had come from baltimore traveled to new york. Would that in any way change that outlook . I think even with that, it would still, you know, i think the fbi will assist in any way possible especially with covering interstate leads to do Background Investigation on the individual. But i think still the nypd will have the lead in this case. Harry, and, again, harry houck is a former detective, i should say, in the new york Police Department. This has got to have an impact on those officers on the street and put them even more at edge whether in new york or elsewhere. Oh, without a doubt. Probably in all the major cities Police Officers and Police Departments are looking at this and saying to themselves, hey, you know, we got to make sure our officers are especially vigilant right now because we dont know whats going to happen. Do i think this is going to be a trend. I hope to god its not. You know, i dont think that this guys part of any kind of a conspiracy, you know, based on the information that i already heard from my contact so, you know, again, its a horrible, horrible day for the Police Department. It is indeed. Harry houck, thank you very much for joining us. Tom fuentes, thank you as well. Well continue to follow developments and bring them to you. Well take a break right now.
