The shooter drove to Brooklyn from Baltimore, Maryland. Later killed himself in a nearby subway station. NYPD commissioner William Bratton says they're still investigating. NO EXCUSE for this.
I don't know what this guy's motivation was. There have been a few police controversies in the news lately (I've discussed them in private with HeadMarshal and have been apprehensive about discussing them here since like in the gun thread- I don't want posts where negativity and bad feelings might be inevitable.)
At the same time, people have the right to protest, but not to engage in violence. It's also said he was a fugitive weho shot his girlfriend before driving to Brooklyn. So yeah maybe this guy was just some random nut, but I hope this isn't a trend because most officers risk their lives every day never knowing for sure if they will ever see their families again.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Officers families.' There's never a non-tragic time for unwarranted deaths, but for this to happen during the holiday season makes this even more of a tragedy.
