-- Police are searching for a suspect in a Brooklyn shooting that left an NYPD detective hurt Thursday.Investigators are still trying to determine whether the officer was hit by the bullet or glass from the shattered window.
"At least one round hit the driver's side window of the vehicle, smashing the glass. The officer driving the vehicle sustained an injury to his arm. He was taken to an area hospital and is currently being treated for non-life-threatening injuries," NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said. As police investigated that scene, there was another shooting just two hours later a mile and a half away in Ocean Hill. Two people were injured. Police say the victims were on the street when they heard shots and felt pain.
As that detective recovers in the hospital, the mayor promised Thursday to work with the governor on preventing a new flood of guns on city streets.NYPD Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell says uniformed officers from the 73rd Precinct were on patrol in a marked NYPD vehicle in the area of Pitkin Avenue and Legion Street around 4:30 p.m. when an individual walking near them"suddenly and without provocation" pulled out a gun and opened fire.
