A police officer and a civilian were shot during a traffic stop in Queens on Monday evening, the NYPD said.
Officials said the officer made the stop at 1919 Mott Ave. in Far Rockaway at 5:48 p.m. when they began exchanging gunfire with the civilian. Both the officer and the civilian were in surgery on Monday evening, police spokesperson Carlos Nieves said. Their conditions were not immediately known.

A press conference was scheduled for shortly after 8 p.m. at Jamaica Hospital, Nieves said.
City Councilmember Selvena N.

The public is asked to avoid the area if possible. Please be advised that buses along this route may be rerouted due to the investigation.
