A 19-year-old male who had previously been arrested and had a history of gang connection was shot by NYPD officers in the Bronx after he pointed a gun at them. When authorities responded to a complaint regarding a major fight, they came upon the armed suspect in the vicinity of 755 White Plains Road in Soundview. Officers were unharmed, and the suspect did not discharge his weapon. According to Eyewitness News, he was arrested and subsequently treated at Jacobi Hospital for injuries that are not thought to be life-threatening.
The police response resulted in the suspect being shot twice in the leg, while another suspect ran away as the suspect assumed a fighting stance and pointed a 9mm pistol at the oncoming policemen, according to FOX 5. He is still at large and is said to be dressed in a white hoodie and grey trousers.
There has been a lot of violence in New York this week, including this gunshot. A few days prior, a 57-year-old man was shot dead by NYPD cops during a violent robbery spree in Queens. John Chell, the chief of the Patrol Bureau, voiced his dissatisfaction with the criminal justice system and stated that reform is necessary. He cited recent events, such as a stabbing and an altercation with a lifer on parole who had shot at individuals, robbed two people, and wounded an officer.
