Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
The man who ambushed and killed two New York Police officers has been arrested several times for petty crimes and has been described as “violent and suicidal.”
28-year old Ismaaiyl Brainsley also spent two years in prison for firing a stolen gun near a public street in Georgia.
New York Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce told NBC that they had discovered the gunman had tried to commit suicide last year. The mother of the gunman’s ex-girlfriend, who he shot after an argument Saturday morning, told the NYPD that she had been afraid of him.
Friends of the gunman have been telling media that he was a peaceful, “God-fearing” man and they were shocked to hear he had committed the crime.
“This would’ve never crossed my mind for him to do something like this,” friend Jay Romero told the New York Daily News. “It brought tears to my eyes. No human has the right to take any human’s life, that’s wrong. What he did is a cowardly move. I don’t know what he went through, what was on his mind.”
