SYRACUSE — A man who shot and killed two police officers outside his home Sunday night had been taking cocaine that day with a friend, according to Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick.
The friend, Shawn Kinsella, 33, told investigators that he and Christopher R. Murphy, 33, “had spent some time doing lines of cocaine,” Fitzpatrick said.
The two men are long-time friends, he said.
Any remaining cocaine inside Murphy’s home at 4945 Darien Drive will be collected by officers and analyzed, Fitzpatrick said. Officers will check to see if it was laced with anything, he said.
