2 NYPD officers killed in shooting while responding to domestic violence call in Harlem

NEW YORK — Two NYPD officers died when they responded to a domestic violence call at a Manhattan apartment on Friday, police and sources said.

The officers responded at about 6:30 p.m. to a 911 domestic violence report involving a woman and a son fighting in an apartment on West 135th Street near Malcolm X Boulevard in Harlem, sources said.

When police arrived at the first-floor apartment, shots flew.

“They went into the building and it jumped off,” said neighbor Garrett Fowler, 62. “There were two guys being brought out of the building on stretchers. They weren’t moving at all.”

The wounded officers were rushed to Harlem Hospital, but they could not be saved, sources said.

A suspect was also shot in the melee, police said.

Officers were called to the same apartment for a domestic violence call in August, sources said.
