"An NYPD officer was shot at and injured in Brooklyn on Monday when an alleged murder suspect with a shotgun returned to the scene and opened fire, according to two law enforcement sources familiar with the situation. The officer sustained an injury in the fray in Brownsville, but the sources said the nature of that injury wasn't immediately clear. Mayor Eric Adams described one officer as being "shot.""
"Sources say two other officers responding to the scene were hurt in a car accident. The man believed to be the suspect barricaded himself in a Brownsville apartment and was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to three law enforcement sources with knowledge of the case. Adams said he had been briefed on the situation and was heading to the hospital."

The NYPD said on X that the area near Linden Boulevard and Thomas Boyland Street had been shut down to police activity. Delays were expected in the area."
