A rookie Jersey City cop was killed in a cold-blooded ambush outside a Walgreens Pharmacy early Sunday before a brief standoff that also ended in the gunman’s death, officials said.
Officer Melvin Santiago and his partner rolled up to the store to answer a robbery call at 4:09 a.m. when the gunman came out of nowhere and blasted Santiago in the head as he sat in the passenger seat.

Responding cops shot and killed the gunman, officials said.
