Records from the NYPD’s emergency call center show how a seemingly routine Friday evening domestic call in Manhattan quickly turned into a deadly situation.
Before Officer Jason Rivera was slain and Officer Wilbert Mora was critically injured by Lashawn McNeil’s .45 Glock, police had little indication that they were walking into an ambush.
The NYPD received a 911 call from Shirley Sourzes, a woman who was having a dispute with her son in a Harlem apartment at 5:09 p.m., according to the call log obtained by The Post.
“HE IS THREATENING TO DO THINGS TO HER,” the log stated. “HE IS IN THE HOUSE NOW.”
But the log indicated the unidentified woman told the dispatcher that no one in the Harlem apartment had a weapon or was injured. McNeil, in fact, was brandishing a gun with an illegal, high-capacity magazine.
Over the next several minutes, dispatchers wrote that the caller said her son was in her home and was “threatening to do things to her.”
For more than an hour, there were no further entries in the log, until a 6:21 record of “SHOTS FIRED” was entered.
Rivera, Mora and a third cop had arrived at 119 West 135th Street’s apartment 1D and spoke to the woman and another one of her sons in the living room before walking down a long narrow hallway to check on McNeil. The alleged killer then swung the door open and opened fire on the officers, according to previous descriptions. He was shot by the third officer as he tried to flee the apartment and remained in critical condition.
At 6:22, three requests for a “bus,” police jargon for an ambulance, were made over 10-second period. Twenty-one seconds later, the emergency vehicle was en route to 119 West 135th St., according to the log.
A “Level 1 Mobilization … in regards to 3 MOS shot” was requested at 6:24, meaning a deployment of emergency resources were needed for three members of service that had been shot.
Four seconds later, officials clarified that two officers had been shot, and over the next several minutes a flurry of 43 urgent radio dispatches showed police had rushed to block off the street, brought the injured officers to nearby Harlem Hospital, established a staging area for first responders and secured a blood bank for the injured cops.
At 6:28, nine minutes after authorities received word of the shooting, Rivera and Mora were at the hospital.
Rivera, a 22-year-old rookie died Friday night. Mora, 27 — who had a bullet lodged in his brain, according to sources — underwent a second surgery Saturday and remained in critical condition.
