2 NYPD Officers Shot, Wounded In The Bronx
2015-01-06
[SeeBS] Two NYPD officers were shot and wounded late Monday in the Bronx. As CBS2’s Jessica Schneider reported, officials said the shooting happened around 10:40 p.m. in front of 2532 Tiebout Ave., at 184th Street, in the Fordham section of the Bronx.

Sources told CBS2 the officers involved were Anti-Crime officers, wearing plain clothes. The officers were investigating an incident at a nearby business, sources said.

One officer was wounded in the arm, the other in the leg, officials said. They were rushed to St. Barnabas Medical Center. Both were expected to survive, officials said. Police blocked off a broad area near the scene following the shooting. The suspect in the shooting was still on the loose as of just before 1 a.m. Tuesday, police said.
Thankfully their injuries do not appear to be life threatening.

#2  From what I read last night, it doesn't appear that the attack was an "ambush" on the police like the one recently. Looks like they came upon the suspect in the act of a robbery/break in and shots were exchanged. One would think if the initial crime was to draw the police into an ambush, it would have been more devastating. That may be giving too much credit to the perp though.

And what exactly is an anti-crime officer? Are they from the department of redundancy department?
