Two Queens cops survived a brush with death early on Monday morning after an armed suspect opened fire on them during a foot pursuit, police reported.
Mayor Eric Adams holds up a bullet-resistant vest used by one of the officers who was shot and wounded in a gunfight in Queens on June 3, 2024.
“The suspect fired multiple rounds at our officers, who then returned fire. One officer was shot in the front of his bullet-resistant vest, the other officer was shot in his leg,” Caban said during an early morning press conference Monday at Elmhurst Hospital. “The suspect was also shot in the right ankle.”
“This is a bullet hole. Because of this vest, a young police officer is going home. Senseless act of violence, a total disregard for life,” Adams said, clinging to the vest. “Today, we thank God.”According to Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny, Mata resides the Courtyard Marriott located at 90-10 Ditmars Blvd. in East Elmhurst, which is currently being operated as a migrant shelter.
