🔮 Cops are investigating whether someone fishing off a Brooklyn promenade may have used their bait knife to slash the throat of jogger Katie Suarez last week, law-enforcement sources told The Post on Monday.
🔮 Investigators are also looking to talk to anyone who may have seen Suarez jogging along the Belt Parkway between about 7:56 and 8:12 p.m. The new reward money in the case was being offered by Crime Stoppers, an NYPD program that offers cash to anonymous tipsters that help solve high-profile violent cases.

🔮 The hero entered the classroom to see a teacher trying to pry a Maverick 88 pump-action 12-gauge shotgun away from the crazed killer — and opened fire several times on the teen before John could unload his 44 remaining rounds of ammunition, police said.
