MUST WATCH: NYPD shares two videos of officers coming under fire

Four NYPD officers are lucky to be alive after a pair of shootings was captured on video over the past few days.

First up is this incident in Queens where two officers were ambushed by a man while investigating a domestic violence incident. One cop was shot in the hip, the other in both hands but both returned fire, killing the suspect:

A little more on this incident. Both officers were wounded but they returned fire and killed the gunman. Thankfully they were in the home at the time because there’s a good chance that woman would have been killed that day.https://t.co/0fK94YvaVR

And here’s the video. Watch how fast it goes from routine to life-or-death:

If you ever had any question abt how quickly seemingly innocuous situations escalate, watch this. I believe a national conversation on policing is a good thing, but it’s hard to have an honest conversation when much of the public has NO IDEA what goes on every day on the streets. pic.twitter.com/IMrMTTkAtT

The second incident happened in Brooklyn where an officer was shot in the chest and a second grazed. The first officer was likely saved by his bullet-resistant vest:

We’ll hear pols say “NYC is lucky to have brave police & we’re fortunate they weren’t seriously hurt” — but it’s meaningless when they pass laws that emboldened violent criminals & endanger us all. Six cops shot in five months & they still haven’t woken up!https://t.co/qMH0DFwfJe
