BROOKLYN MAN ALLEGEDLY OPENS FIRE ON OFFICERS AFTER 911 CALL FROM APARTMENT BROOKLYN, NEW YORK: Police responded to an apartment in Prospect Lefferts Gardens after a man reportedly called 911 from a closet, saying his roommate had shot him in both legs. As officers approached the apartment, the suspect reportedly emerged wearing a blanket over his shoulders. During a conversation with officers, police said he pulled a .38-caliber revolver from beneath the blanket and pointed it toward them. Officers repeatedly ordered him to drop the weapon. Police said the suspect instead fired three shots at officers from approximately 10 feet away. One bullet reportedly grazed an officer’s bullet-resistant vest, striking his body-worn camera, while another grazed a second officer’s shin. Both officers were taken to the hospital and were reported to be in stable condition. Police said the suspect then retreated into the apartment, barricaded himself inside and took a hostage. After approximately an hour, hostage negotiators reportedly persuaded the suspect to surrender. 44-year-old Ridwan Abdul Rashid was taken into custody.
