A gunman has shot dead two police officers sitting inside a patrol car in New York before killing himself.
The commissioner of the New York police department, Bill Bratton, said the men had been "targeted for their uniform".
They were killed, he said, with "no warning, no provocation - they were quite simply assassinated".
The gunman ran into a nearby subway station where he then shot himself, officials say.
Police have cordoned off the area near the shooting and blocked access to pedestrians.
he two dead police officers were named as Liu Wenjin and Raphael Ramos.
Their killer's name was given as Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28.
Deputy Inspector Michael Deddo, of Brooklyn's 66th Precinct police, tweeted: "Our prayers are with our fellow NYPD brothers who were executed in the line of duty today in Brooklyn".
The last fatal shooting of a New York police officer was in 2011.
The shootings come at a tense time, with widespread anger at recent decisions not to prosecute white policemen over the death of unarmed black men.
The rulings sparked demonstrations across the country and inflamed tensions between police and the African American community.

All that's left now is for the exact same protestors who staged the "Black Lives Matter" and "I Can't Breathe" protests to reassemble in the exact same numbers to stage the "Police Lives Matter" protests. Right?
Yes, even the human tragedies who assembled at the, erm, Westfield Shopping Centre, Shepherds Bush, where of course the very last thing on their minds were 42 Inch Plasma Tellys. |
