A veteran police officer was shot and killed in New York City just after midnight during a physical struggle with an armed suspect. The 27-year-old suspect was also shot and killed, police said.
Mulkeen and the suspect got into a prolonged struggle on the ground with the officer shouting, "He's reaching for it, he's reaching for it," according to audio from the body-camera footage, police said.
"Numerous shots" were fired by five separate police officers and Mulkeen was struck three times, police said. It's unclear who fired the fatal shots.
Police said a .32 caliber revolver, believed to have been wielded by the suspect, was recovered at the scene.
