NYPD Officer Shoots Driver of Stolen Vehicle

A New York City Police Department officer on Sunday shot a driver who was attempting to evade cops after the vehicle was reportedly stolen, according to authorities.

A silver Kia Sportage was reported stolen from the Bronx and tracked through license plate readers before it was later located by police as the driver was traveling along West Fordham Road.

Officers attempted to pull over the driver and repeatedly ordered the driver and passenger to step out of the vehicle. The driver allegedly reversed the car and struck multiple officers and an unmarked police vehicle before driving forward and hitting another cop.

As the driver continued attempting to leave the area, an officer on top of a nearby vehicle opened fire and struck the driver. The driver was transported to Saint Barnabas Hospital in stable condition. The cops involved in the incident were also taken to local hospitals in stable condition.

Charges against the driver of the stolen vehicle are pending. The incident was captured on body-worn camera footage and remains under investigation. The suspect who was driving the stolen vehicle was arrested in February for shooting another man, police said.
