NYPD officer shot in Brooklyn, 18-year-old suspect in custody
The detective’s ballistic vest stopped the bullet, and police recovered a handgun after a foot chase and arrest, officials said.
- Early Sunday, an 18-year-old male shot an NYPD detective in the back in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood, but Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed Detective Robert Carroll survived because his bulletproof vest absorbed the impact.
- The officers were sitting in an unmarked police vehicle at Nostrand Avenue and St. John's Place after being reassigned from a 12-hour shift for Sail4th 250 when an armed individual approached.

- Officials confirmed Detective Carroll is expected to make a full recovery, while a second officer suffered minor injuries; investigators are conducting a massive video canvas to determine the exact circumstances in Crown Heights.
