cop commits murder-suicide




NEW YORK (CMC):
New York police said that a St Vincent-born cop shot dead her Guyana-born boyfriend and their one-year-old baby and then committed suicide.
Police said that Rosette Samuel, 43, who was off-duty at the time, shot and killed Dason Peters on Monday in their East Flatbush, Brooklyn, apartment.
The 13-year New York Police Department (NYPD) veteran then went into the bedroom and killed the baby with a single bullet to his chest, before taking her own life, the police added.
The police said they found the deadly weapon by her side and that there were no signs of any struggle inside the apartment.
The NYPD said Samuel had moved to the 108th Police Precinct in Queens two months ago after working for a number of years at the Manhattan Traffic Division.
Police said the sole survivor in the bloody horror was Samuel's 19-year-old son from a previous relationship, Dondre Samuel.
He told police investigators that he heard a 'pop-pop' sound as his mother got ready for work, and that she had been arguing all night with Peters, while walking around with the gun.
Police said Dondre escaped the bloodbath by climbing through a second-storey window as shots rang in the quiet Caribbean neighbourhood.
Just before the tragedy, police said Samuel had called the 108th Precinct stating that she would be late for work.
