An NYPD officer was shot three times after approaching a gun wielding man who minutes earlier was involved in a nearby fatal shooting and crash in Brooklyn Wednesday night.
The officer, 28-year-old Brian McGurran, a four-year veteran of the NYPD assigned to the 81st Precinct, was struck in the rear of his bulletproof vest as well as in his leg and buttocks near Macon Street and Howard Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
McGurran fired nine shots in return, and another officer fired a dozen rounds, striking the 26-year-old suspect in the leg.
