Detective Shot in Crown Heights | New York City News
Description
At 4 AM in Crown Heights, an NYPD detective was shot in the back while in an unmarked car on a patrol aimed at curbing violence ahead of the Fourth of July — the bullet stopped by his vest, leaving only a contusion. Another officer suffered minor injuries. The 18-year-old suspect, armed with a nine-millimeter gun, fled but was later taken down after resisting arrest with a Taser. No body camera footage captured the shooting, so investigators are now scouring local surveillance to reconstruct the incident — a sobering reminder of the daily risks officers face, even during routine patrols.
