NEW YORK (AP) - Police say a New York City woman has been shot and killed less than a block from her home in Brooklyn.

The NYPD says officers found 41-year-old Jacqueline Dicks unresponsive with a gunshot wound to her head after responding to a 911 call around 11:40 p.m. Monday.

Emergency crews arrived and pronounced her dead at the scene.

The Daily News reports that Dicks was an off-duty Metropolitan Transportation Authority worker and was wearing her uniform at the time of her death.

An MTA spokesperson declined to comment.
