The shooting happened just after 6:30 p.m. near the intersection of Carteret Street and Broadway. According to Stephens, Azcona did not have the chance to exit his police vehicle before he was shot.
Both officers and the teen suspect were taken to University Hospital, where one was pronounced dead, FOX 5 NY reported. On Saturday, University Hospital would not give updates regarding the injured police officer's condition, citing patient privacy concerns in an email to Fox News.
