Episode Details

NYPD detective Robert Karroll was struck by friendly fire in Brooklyn Sunday morning during a tense street encounter—thankfully, his bulletproof vest saved him from serious injury. An 18-year-old suspect, seen earlier with a firearm, approached an unmarked police car while allegedly shooting at another vehicle, prompting officers to return fire. The suspect was subdued with a stun gun after a foot chase, and a handgun was recovered. Three officers fired during the incident, but no bodycam footage exists to clarify what happened. Surveillance shows the suspect holding a gun minutes before the shooting, and the unmarked car’s windshield sustained ballistic damage. As investigators piece together the chaotic scene, this tragic moment underscores the high-stakes risks officers face daily.
