This morning, we're following a developing story out of the Bronx
An officer is recovering this morning following a police-involved shooting. That's right. Happened up in the Bronx
Officers were responding to a domestic robbery call where the suspect apparently had a gun
Good day, Briella Tomasetti, live in the Morris Park section of the Bronx. How's that officer doing this morning, Briella
Yeah, he's thankfully all right, Dan and Tashani. That officer was rushed right here to Jacoby Hospital with a serious head injury
following that struggle with an armed suspect. He is in stable condition as we speak, and yes, he is expected even to make a full recovery, according to police
But police got that initial 911 call at 916 last night, and that was from inside a building on Van Nest Avenue in Williams Bridge
A father said his adult son robbed his mother and older brother at gunpoint. Now, when officers responded to the scene, the man told them he believed his son fled to a building near Paulding Avenue in East Gun Hill Road with a gun
Police set up a barricade around the building, went upstairs and knocked on a door where they
encountered the 18-year-old suspect who denied any involvement. The suspect's father, though
recognized his voice, which prompted police to call for backup. NYPD Chief of Patrol
Philip Rivera describes what happened next. Officers then heard three gunshots and the
suspect was able to open the door The suspect fled through the front door where he encountered officers positioned outside the door A struggle ensued as officers attempted to take him into custody and one officer fell backwards and hit his head An officer then discharged a
firearm, striking the perpetrator twice, once in the lower back and once in the right arm
Rivera says the suspect is in critical condition, also here at Jacoby Hospital
and noted that he has a violent criminal history, but wouldn't disclose any other details. It's still
unclear what the 18-year-old was trying to steal from his family members, but police recovered a
gun at the scene. And a man who lives in the same exact building with his wife and three-year-old
child told reporters he wasn't home, but his wife heard a domestic dispute of some sort that quickly
escalated. I was on the phone with my wife at the time. She called me to basically let me know
like, she heard a big pop inside the building, loud and sounded like gunshots. She heard multiple
basically the people you scream, not just from in the building, from outside
Body camera footage and shell casings helped police decipher that there were additional
shots fired from inside that apartment, damaging a window. Again, one officer recovering from
a head wound, and he is in stable condition right now. The suspect, meantime, in critical condition, was taken into police custody and will later
face charges. For Number Live here outside Jacoby Hospital, Dan and Tashani, back to you
All right, Briella, thank you very much
