NYPD accidental weapon discharge in Brooklyn

Overview

An NYPD officer accidentally discharged a service weapon at the Kingston-Throop Avenue subway station in Brooklyn. The incident occurred on a Thursday afternoon on the C train line in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood.

Bullet fragments from the single round struck a fellow officer and a 34-year-old female bystander. All three individuals were transported to a local hospital and later released in stable condition.

The NYPD has placed the involved officers on modified duty for administrative tasks while the Force Investigation Division conducts a probe. One report indicated the weapon reportedly never left its holster and that an officer mentioned something had jammed in the firearm, though specific details regarding the exact cause have not been released.
