Left are the two police officers who were shot
dead yesterday December 20th while they sat in
the marked police car in New York.
They are
recently-married Wenjian Liu (top) and father-of-
one Rafael Ramos (below) , and right is the man
who shot them dead. He's been identified as 28
year-old Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley, from
Baltimore.
Ismaaiyl had shot and wounded his girlfriend on
Saturday morning before targeting the cops in an
apparent act of revenge for Eric Garner's death
based on what he wrote on his instagram page
(read story here ).
Around 2.47pm yesterday afternoon, Ismaaiyl
crept up behind a patrol car in Brooklyn's
Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood and from the
passenger side of the police van, he shot both
men in the head execution style. Eye witnesses
said the police officers didn't get a chance to
draw their own guns and didn't see their
assailant. After the shooting, Ismaaiyl walked to
a subway station and killed himself.
