How A Police Officer Got Shot On The Head With His Own Gun While Struggling With A Suspect

The NYPD mourned the loss of officer Brian Mulkeen, 33, (pictured above)

When Mulkeen and his partner intervened to pursue the suspect, a ‘violent struggle’ on the ground between the cop and suspect began, police said.

NYPD investigators are seen above in the Bronx where Mulkeen and his partner were attempting to apprehend an unnamed suspect about 12:30 am on Sunday near the Edenwald Houses on East 229th Street

Meanwhile, five officers, also at the scene, unloaded their weapons and killed the suspect. He was described as a 27-year-old man who was on probation until 2022 for a narcotics-related arrest last year, according to the NYPD.
