Shots rang out in the Heights around 4:30 this afternoon…
From NYPD:
“Officers from the @NYPD34Pct received a 911 call for “shots fired” in Washington Heights. At the location, they approached a man who matched description. The man then ran with a gun in his hand, and an officer pursued him on foot into a parking garage.
There, the suspect fires 3 rounds at the police officer, striking him in the right arm. The wounded officer fires back once. At the same time, the officer’s partner drives his unmarked police car into the parking lot and exits the vehicle.
One bullet fired by the suspect goes past the officer and through the windshield of the police car. The officer then fires 3 rounds at the perpetrator, striking him in the chest. Pictures of the car and the gun found at the scene below.”
