Booted Bronx bar patron comes back with a gun and blasts cook - then gets shot by off-duty parole officer

An off-duty parole officer, present during the incident, intervened effectively by returning fire and striking the assailant multiple times, preventing further harm.

Both the shooter and the cook were transported to Jacobi Hospital post-shootout; the cook is stable, while the assailant remains in critical condition.
