NBC is reporting that authorities are questioning a suspect in connection with the Monday night shootings of two NYPD officers responding to a robbery call in the Bronx, police and law enforcement sources say.
The man being questioned went to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in upper Manhattan with a gunshot wound to the back. Authorities are investigating if he is connected to the shootings of 30-year-old NYPD officer Andrew Dossi and 38-year-old officer Aliro Pellerano.
Pellerano was shot in the abdomen and arm near East 184th Street and Tiebout Avenue in Fordham at around 10:30 p.m. Monday, officials said at a news conference early Tuesday. Dossi was shot in the arm and lower back. Both are in stable condition at St. Barnabas Hospital, the NYPD said.
