Fatal shooting of New York police officers called 'brutal, irrational'

olice officers stand solemnly by a makeshift memorial solemn during a late night vigil Dec. 22 at the site where two police officers were shot in the head in the Brooklyn borough of New York. An armed man walked up to two New York Police Department offi cers sitting inside a patrol car and opened fire Dec. 20, shooting both of them fatally before running into a nearby subway station and committing suicide, police said.

NEW YORK - New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan joined in mourning what he called the "brutal and irrational execution of two young, promising and devoted police officers" fatally shot Dec. 20 as they sat in their New York Police Department cruiser on a Brooklyn street.
