POLICE SHOOT TO DEATH KILLER OF TOWN CONSTABLE.(CAPITAL REGION)

OAK BEACH -- A Babylon Bay town constable was shot to death by a man he tried to pull over for drunken driving, police said. The gunman was shot to death by police responding to the scene.

Richard Brooks, 44, was a retired New York City police officer who worked one day a week as a constable for the town. He was patrolling the quiet seaside community of Oak Beach at about 3 p.m. Friday when he tried to pull over James Wilson on the Robert Moses Causeway, Suffolk County police said.

Wilson, 42, sped to his home with Brooks in pursuit, police said. He went inside his house, grabbed a shotgun and fired at Brooks from a second-story window, said Suffolk County police Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick.

Wilson then got back into his car and drove over Brooks, who had been shot at least once in the chest and died at the scene, police said.
