Authorities say a police officer killed himself with his service weapon on a New York City street after checking his girlfriend's Facebook page to find out if she was seeing anyone else.
New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne says Officer Philip Chlanda was in Midtown Manhattan and on a meal break at around 3 a.m. Tuesday when he began arguing with the 26-year-old woman. He told the woman he loved her, then shot himself in the head with his service weapon as she watched.
