Pictured - Ex-girlfriend of NYPD cop killer who he shot before cold-blooded execution in New York
These are the first pictures of the Veterans Affairs officer critically injured at the start of cop killer Ismaaiyl Brinsley's gruesome two-state shooting spree.
Shaneka Thompson was gunned down in her third-floor apartment in the Baltimore suburb of Owings Mills, Maryland
Brinsley, 28, shot Thompson in the abdomen shortly before 6am in her upscale apartment in the Greenwich Place development, which overlooks the Owings Mill AMC Cinema's parking lot.
He used the same silver 9mm semi-automatic handgun that killed NYPD officers Rafael Ramos (R) and Wenjian Liu(L) as they sat in their marked patrol car in the Bedford-Stuyvenstant district of Brooklyn.
Police found a bullet in the apartment that matched those used to kill the police officers.
Thompson is currently in an unidentified hospital in critical but stable condition, Brinsley stole Thompson's cellphone after he had shot her.

It was the location 'pings' from that phone that let police know he was on his way to New York.
They then discovered that he had made shocking threats on Instagram that he would 'put wings on pigs'.
Tragically the message arrived too late. It only reached the NYPD just as Brinsley was about to murder the officers execution-style.
He was then cornered in a subway station and turned the gun on himself in front of dozens of Christmas shoppers
