Officer Randolph Holder, NYPD, shot and killed

[Retired1]

New York City Police Officer Randolph Holder was shot and killed while confronting a suspect. 

Police  Commissioner Bratton said Holder and his partner responded to a report of shots fired at East 102nd Street on the city's Upper East Side. Witnesses told the officers a man had fled on a foot path and the officers encountered another man who told them an assailant had stolen his bicycle at gunpoint. Bratton said the officers confronted the suspect and pursued him to the intersection of East 120th Street and the FDR Drive, where gunfire rang out. One witness told Fox 5 that she heard at least five shots.

Holder was shot in the forehead and rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

PO Holder worked in the housing sector that partially served in the precinct I work out of and is based in my precinct. Before the murders were too close to home and now they're right here at home, on my doorstep. I have no words.
