An NYPD officer was shot and killed Monday during a vehicle stop in Queens, authorities said.
A New York City police officer has died after he was shot while conducting a vehicle stop, authorities said Monday. A pair of officers stopped a vehicle at 1919 Mott Avenue in Far Rockaway, Queens around 5:48 p.m. as part of the NYPD Community Response Team because it was parked illegally, the NYPD said. Then a shootout ensued. 'We lost one of our sons today,' Mayor Eric Adams said at a press conference.
Another officer returned fire and struck the suspect, who was a passenger in the vehicle. The wounded officer was rushed to Jamaica Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The suspected gunman was also taken to a hospital and a gun was recovered at the scene, police said. Officer Diller had been with the NYPD for three years and had more than 70 arrests, officials said.
