    The Democratic governor calls Wednesday’s killing of Officer Miosotis Familia a “senseless assassination.”

    A gunman shot the officer in the head as she sat in a mobile command post vehicle in the Bronx. The gunman fled but was fatally shot by police after he pointed a revolver at them.

    Flags will be flown at half-staff beginning Thursday and remain in that position until the officer’s burial.
