April 16, 2013 00:48

A New York City police officer shot her boyfriend, turned the gun on her 1-year-old son and then shot herself in an apparent double murder-suicide at her home today morning, police said.

The bodies were discovered after her 19-year-old son heard an argument between the two adults, escaped out a window and called authorities. By the time police arrived moments later, the three were dead.

The body of the boyfriend, believed to be about 33 years old, was found in the entry of the first-floor apartment on a quiet, tree-lined street in the Flatlands section of Brooklyn, said chief police spokesman Paul Browne. The bodies of the woman and her baby boy were found face up on the bed in her bedroom.
