Men Sue Off-Duty NYPD Officer For $90 Million Over Apparent Random Shooting

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – Lawyers for a man who was shot six times, allegedly by an off-duty NYPD officer, are filing two lawsuits totaling $90 million over the apparently random incident.

Robert Borrelli and his teammate Joseph Felice were headed home from a hockey game when Officer Brendan Cronin allegedly fired 14 shots at the men at random as they sat in a car at a Pelham intersection on April 29, WCBS 880?s Marla Diamond reported.

Borrelli was not injured, but Felice was shot six times and nearly died.

“As fast as they were pumping blood into his body, that’s as fast as blood was coming out. He almost bled out that night,” said attorney Randolph McLaughlin. “It’s a miracle that both men didn’t die.”
