A court officer fatally shot himself in the bathroom of Manhattan’s family court Monday afternoon, sources told The Post.
The 50-year-old officer, who The Post is not naming, shot himself in the head inside the building at 60 Lafayette Street just after 3:10 p.m., sources said.
The officer had asked a fellow court officer to cover his post so he could take a break, walked into the bathroom and shot himself, according to sources.
A female court officer heard the shot and called 911, sources said.
The officer — one of three brothers, all of whom work as court officers — died at the scene.
“It’s just a tragedy,” New York State Court Officers Association President Dennis Quirk said. “The union delegate was with him this morning. No problem, he was happy as could be and went into the bathroom and did it.”
Quirk described the man as a “great officer” with more than 15 years on the job.
“The brothers are very close to him, and they are extremely upset,” said Quirk who informed the family personally of his passing today in Staten Island.

This post brightened up my day! 🌞
Those who cheat on their partners who are loyal to them; don’t deserve them. It is a trashy attitude to disrespect a person who is loyal in a relationship, by cheating on him or her. If you succeed in cheating someone, don’t think that the person is a fool, realize that the person trusted you much more than you deserve. I’ve been bullied by my husband for months and this got me worried because he complains about every little thing I do in the house. I asked him what was wrong and why the change of attitude, he got no excuse for his actions. I took out time to observe his behavior and I got to know he’s been seeing another woman, a co-worker where he works. I needed solid and concrete proof of his cheating ways, a friend introduced me to an expert named Fred, I was able to reach out to him by mail: Service fredvalcyberghost. He got into his phone remotely within a twinkle of an eye and I was able to see all his activities on his phone ranging from text messages, facebook, whatsapp, deleted messages, Images, call logs to social media activity. I concluded every man cheats in his own way, and he is only honest who is not discovered. Knowing is better than self doubt, getting in touch with the real Hacker and getting free from an abusive relationship.Email: fredval[email protected] and you you Text/ Call him on +14236411452
