An off-duty NYPD cop, enraged at finding her ex-girlfriend together with another woman, shot them both Wednesday — killing the new lover and wounding the estranged gal pal, police sources said.
Officer Yvonne Wu, 31, who’s assigned to the 72nd Precinct in Brooklyn, opened fire on the couple in her ex’s home at 19th Ave. near 80th St. in Bensonhurst just after 5 p.m., hitting both in the chest, police sources said.

The jealous officer’s ex-girlfriend, 23, was expected to survive a gunshot wound to her torso; the new lover, identified as Jamie Liang, 24, was blasted numerous times and died, sources said.
The off-duty cop was waiting for her ex in her Bensonhurst home when she came home with the other woman, said Assistant Chief Michael Kemper.

When one of the victims called 911, the operator could hear someone in the background saying, “That’s what you get,” sources tell the Daily News.
The caller to 911 identified herself as Jenny Li, the officer’s girlfriend, the sources said.
Medics took both shooting victims, as well as Wu, to Maimonides Hospital.
When officers responded to the scene, they found the off-duty officer waiting outside, Kemper told reporters.
“I would describe her as calm, collected and very forthcoming,” he said.

“Simply put, she confessed. That’s all I’m going to say,” Kemper added when asked what she told the responding officers.
Wu, who joined the NYPD in 2016, is in custody, and charges against her were pending.
One of the dead woman’s friends told the Daily News that Li and Wu lived together in Bay Ridge until about a month ago, when they broke up.

“She was possessive. Jenny Li just couldn’t take it anymore,” the 21-year-old friend said. “This cop is a psychopath. She was stalking her ex for a month.”
Wu was sitting on Li’s bed when she and her new girlfriend came home, the friend said.
“She did not walk into her ex and her lover. She was intruding her ex’s house without consent. She was trespassing,” she alleged.
Shortly after the break-up, Wu showed up at Li’s home, and motioned to the gun in her waistband when Li and the other woman came out, the friend said. Li didn’t report what happened to police, the friend said, because “they still care for Yvonne because they are friends,” the friend said.
Theresa DiGirolamo, who lives up the block, said she heard what sounded like a paper bag popping, then saw one of the victims taken away by ambulance.
“It’s like a pop, pop, one, two, three. Then four and maybe five,” she said.
DiGirolamo walked to the corner, and saw medics loading one of the women into an ambulance, “her face like gray, like no life, lifeless.”
“This is a very quiet neighborhood. This is shocking for everybody,” she added.
