- New York Police Officer Brian Mulkeen, who died in an exchange of gunfire on Sunday in the Bronx, was killed "tragic case of friendly fire," Police Commissioner James P. O'Neill said during a news conference.
- Mulkeen, 33, was shot twice by fellow officers, who accompanied him when approaching a suspect on probation, Antonio Lavance Williams, for questioning regarding a recent slew of shootings in the city.
- Williams attempted to flee the officers, causing Mulkeen to wrestled the suspect to the ground, who was armed with a loaded, .32-caliber gun. Body cam footage captured Mulkeen repeating, "He's reaching for it," referring to the weapon, before the other officers discharged their weapons at both Mulkeen and Williams.
- "Make no mistake — we lost the life of a courageous public servant solely due to a violent criminal who put the lives of the police, and all the people we serve, in jeopardy," O'Neill said.
