Cops guard scene of Tuesday's shooting in Brownsville.A rookie NYPD officer shot and wounded an armed 18-year-old Brooklyn man during a stop and frisk Tuesday, police sources said.
Akeem Harvey was shot once in the chin, and the bullet traveled to his chest, sources said. He was in stable condition Tuesday night at Brookdale University Hospital.
Two officers from Brooklyn's 67th Precinct stopped to question Harvey outside R&R Grocery in Brownsville
at about 2:30 p.m., police sources and witnesses said.
Harvey acted nervous and kept adjusting his waistband before he darted north on Winthrop St., police sources said.
"The cops were searching the boy outside the store and he started running," a witness said.
"The police started chasing after him. I heard a shot. And he was down around the corner. I started crying and praying," the woman said.
As he ran toward his home, Harvey fumbled and dropped his .357-magnum revolver, sources said. When he picked up the weapon, he pointed it at one of the officers, sources said.
The cop, a graduate of the most recent Police Academy class, fired once and hit Harvey in the face. Full Story Here
