A suspect is also dead on the platform at the Fort Hamilton stop of the N-train near 62nd Street in Bay Ridge, sources added.

“Some passengers came running into my store and said someone shot a cop,” said Asif Javed, an evening clerk of the Muniz Deli on 11th Ave and 62nd St.
“The cops came and closed down the station.”
People in the underground station scattered as at least five shots ring out at 7:37 p.m., according to straphanger Jonathan Michael, 31.
“People were just running out. It was loud,” he said. “The whole train was screaming.”
“I understand this happening in bad neighborhoods, but not in peaceful neighborhoods.”
The two officers — plainclothes Transit cops assigned to an anti-crime unit — are both being treated at Lutheran Hospital.
The investigation is ongoing.
