He's believed to have walked up to the cop's patrol car and opened fire, "execution" style. After the shooting, he took his own life.
Brinsley, 28, ran to the platform of a Subway station on Marcy Avenue and killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to NBC New York.
He was taken to a Brooklyn hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Police recovered a silver handgun from his death scene. Both cops were rushed to Woodhull Medical Center in critical condition after the shooting.
Sadly, the two officers were pronounced dead just after 5 p.m. on December 20. The New York Post reports that detectives believe that the gunman thought of the shooting as a revenge mission for Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
Both officers had been working overtime on an anti-terrorism drill when the shooting happened. One of his last Instagram posts included lyrics to the 50 Cent song "Green Lantern," never had a hot gun on your waist and blood on your shoe...n*gga you ain't been through what I been through you not like me and I'm not like you." The post included the hashtags, "#BrooklynGoHard #ConeyIsland," reports the New York Post.
The next showed a picture of a silver handgun with the words "I'm putting wings on pigs today. They take 1 of ours...Let's take 2 of theirs." It included the hashtags "#shootthepolice" as well as references to Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
