Off-duty Officer Yvonne Wu pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and second-degree attempted murder for the double shooting, facing up to 27 years in prison.
She shot her ex-girlfriend Jenny Li and Li's new partner Jamie Liang, with whom she hoped to reconcile, using her NYPD-issued gun.
Wu had been waiting outside Li's residence for hours, eventually shooting the couple inside the house before calmly confessing to the crime.
Liang's family filed a wrongful death suit accusing the NYPD of negligence in allowing Wu, deemed mentally unfit and a danger, to retain her gun.
