An off-duty police lieutenant shot a bandit in Queens, January 28, 2007. The thug struggled with the police officer trying to take the police officer's gun. The officer has been in the police force for sixteen years. The cop works in the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst.
He was driving through Jackson Heights with his girlfriend at around 5:30 A.M. When he spotted a man crying for help while he was getting beat up by two men on 90th Street near 35th Avenue. After he heard the man crying for help, he jumped out of is car and identified himself and the attackers ran away. The cop caught one of the attackers on 37th Avenue but let go because the second thug came at him with a beer bottle and tried to grab his gun. After struggling with the gun, the gun fired and the bullet struck the suspect in the torso.
The wounded man limped only a few feet then soon collapsed. He was then taken to Elmhurst Hospital. The wounded man was said to be in a stable condition waiting for criminal charges. The wounded suspect was a 17-year old male. The other suspect was 24, who was later caught and was questioned the same night.
Luckily the cop was couragous and took on two thugs. The cop ended up fine and that was a big risk for which cops have to take everyday. It was also brave and gutsy for the thug to try and take the police's gun. That of course was a big mistake and should have never done it. Now he ends up in a hospital bed and maybe going to be in jail for a longer time trying to resist arrest, flewing from a police officer and trying to take an officer's gun. It is very good that the cop wasn't hurt and there can be justice in this world.
