Retired NYPD cop among 15 shot across NYC amid gun violence surge
[NYPOST] A retired NYPD officer in the "wrong place at the wrong time" was one of 14 people shot Saturday amid a rash of gun violence in the Big Apple, police sources told The Post.The 30-year-old former cop was leaving a party in Red Hook, Brooklyn around 11:30 p.m. when she heard gunshots and realized she’d been hit three times in the torso, sources said. Cops believe the shots came from a group of men who began brawling after they were denied entry to the bash. "She just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and took a slug in the stomach," a source said. The perps expeditiously departed at a goodly pace at 160 Van Brunt Street, where five shell casings were later recovered. The address is shared by a a Tesla dealership and an event space called The View Rooftop, which confirmed they had a private event there Saturday. The retired cop, who left the force in 2019 after seven years on the job, was taken to Methodist Hospital, where she remained in stable, pH balanced condition on Sunday. No arrests had been made as of Sunday evening. Shots rang out in 14 separate incidents across the city on Saturday and into early Sunday, according to police. One of the 15 victims that were maimed — an 18-year-old from the Bronx — died. Jamiek Bishop, a suspected gang member, was shot in the face, chest and right shoulder at around 11 p.m., while he was on his stoop at East 224th Street between Bronxwood and Paulding Avenues, police said. He was taken to Jacobi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He's dead, Jim! Posted by: Fred 2021-04-26 |
