The video starts with the mortally wounded officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, on the pavement on either side of their patrol car and surrounded by frantic first responders.
“They pumpin’ him, they pumpin’ him – damn!” a male voice can be heard on the tape, describing the frenzied CPR efforts that were going on to try to revive the cops.
Ramos and Liu were then quickly loaded into ambulances and led away by a high-speed entourage of police cars, lights and sirens blaring.

With the victims’ blood staining the pavement, their brethren in blue cleared a path on Tompkins Avenue for ambulances.
“Everybody out now, everybody out now!” one officer can be heard bellowing above the chaos. “Clear the f–k out now!”
Two and a half minutes later, police tape went up to secure the scene of the crime.
One witness on the video can be heard saying it’s unbelievable that one crazed gunman — Maryland resident Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28 — could have launched so much carnage by himself.
“Well, how they do that? They shot both of them, they shot both of them!” a woman said. “So they had to come from both sides, look at all these investigators.
“This is crazy, this is crazy,” she said.
