A Bronx police officer is lucky to be alive after being shot at a street corner early Tuesday morning. A 16-year-old boy is now in custody in connection with the incident.
Police apprehended the suspected shooter, a 16-year-old boy, and are seeking two other suspects who opened fire on the officer and his partner as they pulled up to the intersection of Prospect Avenue and East 183rd Street in Belmont just after 3 a.m. on Jan. 17.
“When they pulled up, at least one male fires at least six times, striking the windshield and our officer, who was seated in the front passenger seat,” Essig said at the press conference. Moments later, police apprehended the 16-year-old boy who allegedly fired on the officers at the intersection. A .32-caliber handgun was found in his possession. Charges against him are pending the results of the ongoing investigation.
“The police officer that was shot still pursued the perpetrator. His partner pursued the perpetrator, recognizing that his partner was shot, throws him in the car, transmits a description and notifies the hospital,” Lynch said. “If he could have, when he got to the hospital, he probably could have done the operation as well. That’s how calm and professional these police officers were during chaos.
