A recently-promoted NYPD officer has taken his own life, marking the seventh police suicide in New York City this year. The man, whose name has not yet been made public, was found dead inside his Staten Island home on Saturday afternoon. The former transit cop, who had just been promoted to sergeant, reportedly killed himself with a shotgun. He was off-duty at the time.

In a statement shared late Saturday, Police Commissioner James P. O'Neill said: 'The tragic news today that another member of the NYPD has been lost to suicide breaks our hearts, and is a deep sorrow felt by all of New York City.' 😱👮🏻‍♂️ #NYC #NYPD
