Reports say the officer was sitting in a marked NYPD command vehicle near the corner of East 183 Street and Creston Avenue, at around 12:30 in the Wednesday morning and a gunman shot her through the window.

Surveillance footage has shown the suspected 34-year-old shooter Alexander Bonds marching toward the command post. The suspect is also shot fatally while a bystander is hospitalized with a bullet wound, police said.
