2 NYPD officers injured in Brooklyn high-rise fire

Two New York City police officers were overcome by smoke while responding to a suspicious fire in a residential building in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn Sunday and were hospitalized in critical condition, police said. "Police officers Rosa Rodriguez and Dennis Guerra took the building’s elevator up to the 13th floor where they were overcome by smoke in the hallway as they exited," Police Commissioner William J. Bratton said. Bratton said firefighters found both NYPD Housing Bureau officers "unconscious and unresponsive" in the hallway on the 13th floor.
