TREMONT, Bronx (WABC) -- Dramatic audio has been released from the moments following the shooting of a police officer in the Bronx.

The female officer was shot inside a police command post vehicle at the intersection of East 183rd Street and Morris Avenue, shortly after 12:30 a.m.

Following the shooting, her partner immediately radioed for assistance.

"Shots fired! 10-85!" the officer is heard shouting after the gunfire, including the code for an officer down. "My partner's shot! My partner's shot! Hurry up central!"

Other officers confronted the suspect, who was running, one block away. The suspect drew a revolver and the officers fatally shot him.

The wounded officer, 12-year NYPD veteran Miosotis Familia, was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital where she later died.

She was assigned to the 46th Precinct's Anti Crime unit.
