A shooting suspect blew his brains out after the Con Ed truck he had stolen to flee cops got caught in traffic outside Yankee Stadium just as last night’s game ended, sources said.
The unidentified man – who earlier had shot his girlfriend in the shoulder after a violent argument – killed himself as pursuing officers closed in on him.
The suspect had gotten into a fight with the woman near East 151st Street and Courtlandt Avenue, about 20 blocks from the Stadium, at about 10 p.m.
He suddenly drew a gun and shot her in the shoulder, a police source said.
“I was watching the baseball game and I heard gunfire,” said neighbor Robert Baker, 42.
“I heard around six shots.”
The gunman then hopped into a Con Ed truck that was left with its engine running at a work site.
When a utility worker confronted him, the suspect pointed a gun at his head and sped off.
Shortly after, he smashed into a police car, but got away.
As he approached the Stadium, at East 161st Street near the Macombs Dam Bridge, he got stuck in traffic. When cops approached the truck, they heard a gunshot and found the driver dead with a bullet wound to the head, authorities said.
The woman was in stable condition at Jacobi Hospital.
