NEW YORK — A young NYPD officer was fighting for his life Saturday after he was shot and his partner killed in a Harlem apartment ambush set off by a bizarre family feud between a mother and her gun-toting, ex-con son over his vegan diet, police sources said.
Officer Wilbert Mora, 27, survived the bullets fired by the gunman who stepped over the cop’s dying partner Friday evening to squeeze off another shot inside a narrow hallway in the first-floor apartment, police sources said.
Lashawn McNeil emerged from his bedroom blasting with a Glock .45 handgun capable of holding 40 rounds, police said, killing 22-year-old Officer Jason Rivera with his first shots.
