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.
- Three officers fired at the suspect, who was later apprehended following a foot pursuit; Commissioner Tisch noted the lack of bodycam footage, stating "presumably because it happened so quickly."
- This incident occurred hours after a Saturday night shooting in Coney Island injured eight people, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani lamented the violence, noting the nine-year anniversary of Police Officer Miosotis Familia's murder.
- While a second officer suffered minor injuries, officials confirmed Detective Carroll is expected to make a full recovery as investigators conduct a massive video canvas to determine the circumstances of the Crown Heights shooting.
