Daily Mail reports: Moore, 25, was rushed to a hospital in a patrol car after he and his partner pulled up in an unmarked police car to a man who was adjusting his waistband suspiciously, police Commissioner William Bratton said. The officers exchanged words with the man before he turned suddenly and fired at least twice, striking Moore, Bratton said. His partner, Officer Erik Jansen, radioed for help. “They did not have an opportunity to get out and return fire,” the commissioner said at a Saturday night news conference at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center with Mayor Bill de Blasio and other officials. After the shooting, witnesses described Blackwell to responding officers and pointed them in the direction he ran, Bratton said. Officers searched house by house and some could be seen walking on roofs as helicopters flew overhead. Police arrested Blackwell near the crime scene in a house on the block where he lives, officials said. De Blasio said the shooting was a painful reminder of the risks officers take every day. “Our hearts are with his family, his loved ones,” the mayor said. “Our hearts are with his extended family, the men and women of the NYPD.”

The shooter, Demetrius Blackwell served 7 yrs for attempted murder. Was released in 2008 from Clinton Correctional in Dannemora, NY.
