Cop released from hospital after being shot by Brownsville murder suspect * Brooklyn Paper

""A male opens the door of one of the first-floor apartments and fires at the officer in the hallway from close range with a shotgun, striking the officer on the left side of his face; his injuries are consistent with bird shot pellets being fired from a shotgun," Tisch said. "Our cop returns fire, and the perp barricades himself back inside the apartment.""

"According to Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, cops were conducting an investigation at around 7:45 a.m. on Nov. 17 after a 41-year-old man was shot inside a home located at 1046 Thomas S Boyland St. earlier in the morning. The deceased, identified as Leeroy Wallace, staggered outside after suffering a gunshot and collapsed on the sidewalk. EMS responded and found Wallace dead at the scene and immediately notified police. Officers from the 73rd Precinct responded and discovered a shotgun shell casing in the vestibule of the building, where they believe the victim had initially been mortally wounded."

"During the chaos, and as police called for backup to the scene, officers inside a marked police cruiser from the 73rd Precinct were racing to the area along New Lots Avenue and Thomas Boylan Street when they collided with a civilian-operated vehicle. All parties involved suffered minor injuries and were hospitalized."
