NEW YORK – An off-duty officer jumped out of a window to escape her armed husband after he barricaded himself with her inside their Queens home. In addition, the suspect shot at uniforms, according to the New York City Police Department.

According to the head of the Department, Rodney Harrison, the off-duty officer initially called the police on Tuesday, around 8:46 a.m., to request help at a residence located in the 133rd Avenue.

“Upon arrival, patrol officers knocked on the front door and engaged the suspect, who threatened to shoot them,” Harrison said.

The Hostage Negotiation Team and the NYPD Emergency Services Unit were also called to the scene. According to Harrison, while trying to continue the dialogue with the suspect, he shot the officers several times. It was during the chaotic moment of events that the off-duty officer managed to escape by jumping from a second-story window.

“During the confrontation between the suspect and the police, the woman involved was able to jump out of the second floor window. Then, the man involved shot in the direction of the woman and the uniformed ESU personnel. The officers responded to the fire which he did. back off the suspect, “Harrison said.

Police say that while officers were in dialogue with the suspect, his brother arrived at the scene and worked with the uniformed officers to finally get the alleged attacker to surrender. He was arrested and taken to a local hospital for a gunshot wound to his right arm.

The off-duty officer was also taken to an area hospital for a possible broken leg after the impact of the jump fall.

Preliminary investigation suggests that the man was armed with the weapons of his partner’s work.

Although police frequently report domestic violence calls, Harrison said responding to one involving an off-duty police officer “was not easy.”

“Unfortunately, we respond to a large number of domestic violence cases across the city. But it’s very rare that we get a case that involves one of our own, but like I said, it was a great job from all the men and women who they responded to this location, “he said.

The investigation continues.
