A brave cop was shot
Trying to prevent a robbery pray that he makes a full recovery. The press conference turned into a circus when some clown starting screaming obscenities and slurs at the Mayor and Police Commissioner.
"High-Pitched" Joao DePina
Got charged for disrupting a Rachael Rollins press conference (charges were dropped later) and famously called William Gross a "fat cowboy" during another presser.
Wow, hope he's OK.
Hope they manage to catch the guy, too. :-/
In custody
Perp was captured near the shooting scene
