(SOUNDBITE) (English) NEW YORK CITY MAYOR BILL DEBLASIO SAYING:
"When a police officer is murdered, it tears at the foundation of our society. It is an attack on all of us, it is an attack on everything we hold dear."
The officers, 40 year old Rafael Ramos and 32 year old Wenjian Liu were both pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Police say earlier on Saturday the suspect shot his ex-girlfriend at her home near Baltimore, Maryland. She is expected to survive.
