An NYPD officer was shot and wounded in his police car in the Bronx early Tuesday - and a 16-year-old gunman was arrested nearby when the injured officer's partner took him to the hospital, authorities said.
The officer — identified by law enforcement as Constable Paul Lee, a member of the 48th Precinct Public Safety Team — was in an unmarked police vehicle when he and his team spotted two men at the southwest corner of East 183rd Street and Prospect Avenue and shot at them, New York City Police Department Chief Detective James Essig told reporters. The two began to flee, but one of them turned and opened fire at the cops, law enforcement sources said.

Lee was shot in the left arm, "vital structure nearly missing," Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell told reporters. All four officers got out of the car and all returned fire, but the gunman was not hit, officers said. A 16-year-old boy was arrested by other 48th Precinct officers "after a brief foot chase," Essig said.
Suspect Arrested:
The video shows a suspect in custody at the scene as a police officer is heard saying, "Bring him here. I want to look at his face. Yes, it's the mother. Yes, Mom, we got you! We got you!" 32 caliber handgun was found on the teenager's body, police say. Charges were pending and police could not immediately say whether it was he who had shot the officer. Police were still looking for a man dressed in black who was with the teenager The injured officer was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital by his partner and was in stable condition, police officials said. "The police officer who was beaten and killed was chasing the attacker," Patrick Lynch, president of the Police Benevolent Association, told reporters. “His partner is suing the attacker. When he realizes that his partner has been hit, he throws him in the car, drives away, makes descriptions, calls the hospital. "If he could have done it when he got to the hospital, he probably would have had the surgery as well," Lynch said. "That's how calm and professional these officers were during the chaos." Seconds after the shooting — and just before police arrested the teen — more shots went off about 100 feet away on East 183rd Street, officers said. Two .380 cases were recovered at the scene and a suspected gunman, who fled in a car, was wanted, authorities said. "Let's be clear, we will stop at nothing to ensure that those involved in this shooting and the people who are fueling the violence in this city are brought to justice," Sewell said. The violence occurred in a "location known to a gang that has had problems in the past," Essig said. However, the teenager suspected in the police shooting is not listed in any gang database, law enforcement sources said. He was last arrested in April for criminal possession of a gun, the source said. Lee is the first NYPD officer to be killed in 2023. "I spoke to Constable Lee and his family and he is proud to have done his frontline work to address the violence we've seen, particularly in the borough of the Bronx," Mayor Eric Adams told reporters at the hospital. "Thanks to Constable Lee's policing, we intend to continue to do so," Adams continued. “It shows too many young people are holding too many guns. And our job is to create a way to stop it and make sure we get these weapons off our streets. » Read the full article
