After numerous calls to 911, officers arrived to find Wu still at the scene. She “calmly confessed” to the crime, according to officials, and was taken for a psychiatric evaluation.

According to detectives, Wu entered her girlfriend’s apartment before the other two women returned.

Liang was shot in the chest in the living room. She died at the hospital. Wu’s partner was found in her bedroom, shot in the torso. She is expected to make a full recovery.

“This horrific incident is being treated as a homicide case,” said Assistant Chief Michael Kemper, commanding officer of Patrol Borough Brooklyn South. “The motive is believed to be domestic in nature.”

It hasn’t been disclosed whether Wu used her service revolver to commit the crime.
