#Cop, suspect shot in NYC during search warrant: police sources

An NYPD lieutenant and a suspect were shot on Staten Island early Thursday, police sources said.

Police were executing a search warrant at an address on Rockne Street between Ellwood Avenue and Villa Nova Street in Heartland Village around 6 a.m. when a suspect appeared to have fired through a bedroom door, striking the narcotics lieutenant in the right leg, authorities and sources said.

Cops fired back at the suspect, hitting him in the leg, according to the sources.

The officer was taken to Staten Island University North Hospital in stable condition, cops said.

He was described as “conscious and alert,” the sources said.

The extent of the suspect’s injuries were not immediately clear.

The incident comes two days after both a cop and a suspect were shot in the Bronx, suffering non-life-threatening injuries.
