NYPD officer shot and killed during struggle with suspect
2019-09-30
NEW YORK (AP) ‐ A New York City police officer grappling with an armed man died early Sunday in the Bronx after being shot three times, possibly with his own gun.

The 27-year-old suspect also died after five officers fired at him, police officials said. He has not been publicly identified yet.

The NYPD identified the slain officer as 33-year-old Brian Mulkeen.

"We lost a hero this evening," Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a news conference outside Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx.

Mulkeen was patrolling the streets around a city apartment complex at around 12:30 a.m. as part of a unit investigating potential gang activity, Chief of Department Terence Monahan said.

Mulkeen and his partner tried to apprehend a man who had fled questioning, and a struggle on the ground ensued, Monahan said.

#8  Glenmore, absolutely right. Comrade Wilhem was probably referring to the perp. The police who murdered him will undoubtedly be disciplined. And possibly charged with murder.

#6  Keep in mind that NYC mandated an outrageous trigger pull on all police side arms a few years ago, I can't recall now but it's over 10 lbs.

#4  #2 well, it took five. I remember a single Texas cop who while holding the reins of his horse, drop a 'suspect'.
