VIDEO: Off-Duty NY Correction Officer Shot and Killed in Her Car
An off-duty New York City correction officer was shot to death in her car Sunday night in Brooklyn, police said.
Alastasia Bryan, 25, was behind the wheel of her car at Avenue L and 73rd Street in the Flatlands around 9:15 p.m. when someone came up and fired into the vehicle.
Bryan suffered gunshot wounds to her head and torso. She died at the scene, police said.
It's unclear if she was intentionally targeted or if the shooting was random, NBC New York reports.
This is the second attack on off-duty corrections officers in New York City in a week.
Last Sunday two men forced their way into a home in Jamaica, Queens, and shot a state corrections officer and his wife, according to police. The corrections officer was taken to a hospital in critical condition. His wife was taken in serious condition.
