Sad...at least the guy shot the perps.

Dec 10, 2005 — NEW YORK An off-duty police officer was shot and killed Saturday in a pre-dawn gunfight with two burglars outside his home, authorities said.

He was the second officer to die in the line of duty in two weeks.

First, this story is a lie, because guns are banned in NYC. Second, is it just me or is "in the line of duty" losing its meaning?

Subway trains were stopped for several hours as the search continued.

When regular people (peasants) are murdered in NYC, do they stop subway trains to search for the suspects?

I hate it when the good guy loses. I hope the criminals die a cruel death.

Heard this early this morning.

Prayers for this brave man and his family.

NYC MUST REVITALIZE THE DEATH PENALTY!

The officer was struck once in the chest with a bullet from a .357-caliber handgun. Before collapsing in the driveway of the home, the officer returned fire and struck both of the suspects one was hit twice, the other four times.

If this is true I am in awe of his firearms skills... to have the presence of mind to hit two separate perps six times total while fatally shot oneself is amazing!

"The officer first called his landlord, then called 911 to report a possible burglary. "

Speculation on why he called the landlord first?

Gonna go hard for all the perps on the streets up there for the next few weeks.

It’s a shame about the officer, but he did good – five hits on target after taking a .357 in the chest.
