Female cop kills boyfriend, toddler in Brooklyn before killing self: police

A 19-year-old son escaped and called police. Cops now investigating the grisly East Flatbush shooting.

A veteran city cop with 13 years on the job fatally shot her boyfriend and their 1-year-old son before turning the gun on herself in her Brooklyn home Monday, police said.

Sources identified the officer as Rosette Samuel, 43, who worked out of the 108th Precinct in Queens. Cops discovered the boyfriend’s body lying in the hallway of their ground-floor apartment at E. 56th St. in East Flatbush.

The cop, 43, and her infant son were found lying on a bed, authorities said. She had a gun at her side but authorities don’t know if it was her NYPD-issued service weapon, sources said.

"I just heard someone died. I don't know how anyone can do that," said shaken-up neighbor Ricky Lascare. "A kid died too. It's sad. It makes me sad."
