Very awful news out of New York City:
Two NYPD cops were shot when a suspect ambushed them as they sat in a patrol car in Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon, police sources and witnesses said.
The shooting took place outside of the Tompkins Houses, near Myrtle Ave. and Tompkins Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant, about 3 p.m., cop sources said.
The perp came out of the houses, walked up behind the car and lit them up, a high-ranking police official told the Daily News.
At least four witnesses who saw the shooting provided an identical account to a Daily News reporter, but declined to provide their names.
Both officers were rushed to Woodhull Hospital. Their conditions were not immediately clear.
One is not doing so great, another police source said. He was hit in the head.

When I was in Jersey City , a cop was responding and pulling up to scene of a robbery at a drug store.
The 'perp' was outside the drug store ran up to the patrol car and shot the police officer in the head through the passenger window.
Other cops arriving at the scene shot and killed the perp.
Last I heard the perp was connected to a gang in Philadelphia and police were concerned over possible 'reprisal' assaults and murders on police.
Seems like there is a movement in some communities to kill police; DeBlasio's comments haven't helped much !
Even if you don't like police, imagine what your daily city travels would be with no police protection ..
Think about it !
That's too bad, Obama will not be able to invite him to the White House to present him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Perhaps he will make the award to his parents provided that DNA analysis can identify whom they might be.
