The New York Police Department on Saturday morning announced the arrests of two teenagers in connection to the shooting of an off-duty officer last week.
The charges come in connection to the shooting of an off-duty officer in Harlem last weekend around 7:30 p.m. The officer was leaving a vigil at the time.
"This is our seventh police officer shot this year," NYPD Chief of Housing Jeffrey Maddrey said during a Feb. 5 press conference. "[O]ur gun violence has been increasing, and I'm just making a plea to all of our communities, all of our citizens, our police — we all need to support one another. We have to [discourage] gun violence. We don't have to live like this. We shouldn't have to live like this. This is the best city in the world."
