An award-winning film editor was tragically killed by a bunch of thugs who slammed their car into her after robbing an Upper West Side drug store last night.
Karen Schmeer, 39, of Boston, was crossing Broadway between West 90th and 91st streets when she was struck by the getaway car, a 2010 rented Dodge Avenger, and pinned her against a double-parked car, her grocery bags strewn across the street.
Schmeer, who worked on the Academy Award-winning documentary film “The Fog of War” about former Secretary of Defense Robert MacNamara with acclaimed director Errol Morris, was in town editing a new film, friends said.
