NEW YORK (AP) – The Latest on two police officers shot in a New York public housing complex (all times local):

10:15 p.m.

Two police officers shot and wounded while patrolling a New York housing project apparently were attacked by a gunman who later killed himself a few miles from where Mayor Bill de Blasio (dih BLAH’-zee-oh) was delivering his State of the City address.

Police say the officers encountered two people in a stairwell Thursday evening when one of them pulled a gun and opened fire. Both officers were struck. Police say the shooter fled into an apartment.

Officers responding to the scene say they found him in the apartment dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
