Saturday night's botched car robbery that left an off-duty NYPD officer fighting for his life into Monday
has been raised to $10,000, the department announced, as top brass urged anyone with information to come forward. The 26-year-old officer was shot in the head when gunfire erupted behind a McDonald's off Ruby Street in East New York. NYPD officials said he and his brother-in-law had gone there to buy a car after making a deal on Facebook Marketplace. The purported seller drew guns and demanded money, then shot the cop.Mayor Eric Adams said the officer, a five-year veteran assigned to patrol, is married with two children.
Senior law enforcement sources say investigators are now looking into whether Saturday's case may be part of a pattern. Adams, meanwhile, vowed to bring the shooter into custody. "Too many illegal guns are in the hands of bad people and doing bad things," the mayor said."I spoke with the officer's wife, saw his beautiful children. We're all lifting his family up in prayer. We will catch the person responsible for this."
