Two NYPD Officers Shot in the Bronx

Source: WNYC

Two uniformed police officers were shot while on vertical patrol in a public housing project on Thursday night and suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and a suspect was in custody, authorities said.

A bullet grazed one officer in the face and the other was shot in the abdomen, New York Police Department officials said.

The officers, a man and a woman, were taken to Lincoln Hospital. Mayor Bill de Blasio said that both were awake and responsive. NYPD officials said that because the officers' families have not been notified, they are not disclosing names. Both had been serving the department for two years.
