1 NYPD officer killed, another "fighting for his life" after shooting in Harlem

A 22-year-old NYPD officer was shot and killed Friday night while responding to a call for service in Harlem, city officials said. Another officer was wounded and is "fighting for his life to survive." 

The incident occurred after a mother called to say she was in a dispute with her son, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said at a press conference Friday night.  When officers arrived and met with the woman at approximately 6:15 p.m., she said her son was in the back bedroom at the end of a long and narrow hallway. 

As two officers walked down the hall, the door swung upon and "numerous shots were fired," Essig said. A third officer, who had stayed with the woman, then confronted the suspect and shot him in the arm and the head.
