Aside from all of the people mourning the passing of the two NYPD officers who were shot execution style in Brooklyn, NY, one person who is feeling pure heartache over the random act of violence is the mother of the shooter, Shakuwra Dabre.

Ms. Dabre, a Brooklyn resident, learned that her son Ismaaiyl Brinsley had died after seeing pictures of his dead body released by the media.  At the time when she found out that her son was no longer alive, Ms. Dabre was unaware of what Ismaaiyl had done to the two police officers.  She told DNAInfo that she saw the helicopters and ambulances, but didn't realize that her son was responsible for what had happened to the NYPD officers.

"I saw the police cars," Ms. Dabre said.  "I saw the helicopters and instantly my mind went toward Ismaaiyl."

Apparently one of Ismaaiyl's children texted her informing her to "call me as soon as you get this."  After rushing home, Dabre saw the pictures of Ismaaiyl's dead body online after looking at her laptop.

"I knew he was dead when I looked," Ms. Dabre stated.  "I knew. He was gone. I knew he was my son.  I didn't know about the police because I was so torn when I saw him on the stretcher.  I found out too that he did that and I was horrified."

She later commented on her son's passing and the lives he took to the Daily News.

"I am still deeply sorry about what happened at the hands of my son," she said.  "And please accept my deepest condolences, sincerely. As a mother now I hurt for the loss of my son. Just like they're hurting for the loss of their sons."
