*IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN

[HairOfTheDog]

I had a feeling it was him when I saw this thread was bumped :(

Sad story. Officer Moore had already received two exceptional service awards at his young age.

Details:

Moore was on duty Saturday with his partner Eric Jansen, 30, as part of an anti-crime unit in Queens Village when he was shot at 6:15 p.m., police said.

Moore and Jansen were in an unmarked patrol car when they saw a man on the street adjusting something in the waistband of his pants that appeared to be a gun, Bratton said Saturday night.

When the officers told the man to stop, he turned, pulled out a gun and began shooting into the car, Bratton said.

Moore was shot in the face. He was taken to Jamaica Hospital in critical condition and underwent surgery.

The suspect, identified as Demetrius Blackwell, fled on foot and was later arrested.

Bratton said Blackwell has a long arrest record.


^ Blackwell -- the piece of shit who shot Moore.

He was arraigned on attempted murder this weekend. That'll surely be bumped up to murder with Moore's passing, possibly a capital charge.
