NYPD detective shoots himself to death in car parked outside Brooklyn police station



The unnamed detective had recently been reassigned to the 66th Precinct in Borough Park, and shot himself in the head about 7:30 p.m. Thursday outside of the precinct command
 An NYPD sergeant shot himself to death Thursday night inside a car parked in front of the 66th Precinct stationhouse in Borough Park, Brooklyn, police sources said.
The sergeant, who was assigned to the precinct and set to become a detective, stunned colleagues when he pulled the trigger at about 7:30 p.m., sources said. He fired at least one round into his head.
Police did not immediately release the cop’s name or provide an account of what transpired.
Late Thursday, the tragic scene at the stationhouse was punctuated by a gray SUV racing up and the driver screaming “That’s my boy! That’s my boy, let me through!”
An officer lifted the tape roping off the scene and let the man in with no questions asked.
Meanwhile, word of the high-visibility suicide of a brother in blue spread quickly through the ranks.
“We’re all a little bit shell-shocked and saddened,” said a high-ranking police source.
Another source said there was no indication that the sergeant was suicidal.
