The two NYPD officers who were shot by two assailants Monday night had completed their shifts and were in plainclothes when they responded to a robbery call at a grocery store in the Bronx, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton reportedly said at a press conference.
Bratton reportedly said that the injured cops are aged 30 and 38 years, but added that their identities could not be revealed as their families have not been made fully aware of the incident. He also added that the suspects are Hispanic and a manhunt is underway. One of the suspects may have suffered a gunshot wound and was possibly admitted to Presbyterian Hospital, Bratton reportedly said, adding that this could not be confirmed.
“This is another example of the dangers officers face,” Mayor Bill de Blasio reportedly said at the press conference. Authorities have reportedly offered a bounty of $10,000 for any information leading to the arrest of the suspects. A video of the incident is expected to be released.
