NYPD detective just 10 days from retirement took a bullet to the back from an 18-year-old in Brooklyn - was the suspect even a citizen?!?! Detective Robert Carroll of the Sex Offender Monitoring Unit and fellow officers were in an unmarked car in Crown Heights early Sunday morning when an 18-year-old male approached holding a semi-automatic pistol. The officers jumped out to confront him and a gunfight broke out. Carroll was hit in the back, but his ballistic vest stopped the round. He is expected to make a full recovery. Another officer was also injured. Police have not released the suspect’s name. His immigration status is also unknown - we do not know if he is an illegal immigrant, a DACA recipient, or a U.S. citizen. The suspect fled but was quickly tracked down and taken into custody after a struggle. Our officers put their lives on the line every single day - even when they’re counting down their final shifts. Pass this along so more people see the real dangers these men and women face to protect the rest of us. 💪🇺🇸 #NYPD# #BlueLivesMatter#
