A group of Brooklyn Shluchim flanked by Williamsburg Askonim, community members and police officers lit a Chanukah Menorah at the intersection of Tompkins and Marcy Avenue in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn – the corner were two NYPD police officers were murdered in cold blood on Saturday afternoon.

Officers Rafael Ramos, 40, and Wenjian Liu, 32, were taking part in an anti-terror drill and were approached by a gunman who opened fire into their squad car, striking both officers in their upper bodies. They both died a short while later in the hospital. The gunman died of a self inflicted gunshot wound on the subway platform of a nearby station just as cops were closing in on him.
