Police Vehicle Struck by Gunfire
On Monday, May 14, 2012, at 2353 hours, officers were on preventive patrol when they were making a left turn onto Stuyvesant Avenue, from Prospect Street, when they heard gunshots.
The officers continued on Stuyvesant Avenue in an attempt to identify the source of the gunshots. As the officers traveled on Stuyvesant Avenue, they heard several additional gunshots in an extremely close proximity to their vehicle. Believing they were the targets of the gunfire; the officers reacted as trained. They immediately called for back-up units to assist, while gaining a more tactical position to address the threat. Once the scene was controlled, and evaluated, it was discovered that the police vehicle was struck by gunfire.
The area was saturated with back-up officers in an attempt to locate the shooter(s), who have currently eluded apprehension. Our Criminal Investigation Section, along with Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies are actively investigating this incident.
