Yesterday afternoon, a man plowed his vehicle into the 81st Precinct station in Brooklyn before shooting himself in the head. There have been conflicting reports regarding the man's age, but he was in critical condition at King's County Hospital as of yesterday. 

"A 22-year-old male evidently drove into the precinct parking lot where the cars are, crashed into the wall and then took out a small caliber automatic put it in his mouth," a source told Gothamist. The source added that the man still had a pulse when he arrived at the ER.
