It’s being reported for the Breaking News: Police Shooting in Brooklyn story that the officers were sitting in their patrol car when someone walked up to the car, struck the window and opened fire. As shooting ensued the alleged shooter is said to have shot himself after the incident broke. The gunman so far appears to be a “random act” as there was no arrest or interaction with the officers prior to him opening fire. He’s also said to have shot a friend or girlfriend in another state and is being investigated. It’s so far unconfirmed if the police chiefs, commissioner or mayor’s office are approaching the crime scene.

This event comes on the heels of a highly sensitive air around NYPD officers as well as ongoing protests still taking place in New York City, some say many are still walking around agitated. On top of this is tension from ongoing investigations of arrests in the assault of NYPD officers on the Brooklyn Bridge during protests last week.
