Officers from the NYPD Emergency Services Unit were attempting to execute a search warrant when the suspect barricaded himself inside an apartment, according to police sources.

Shortly after officers arrived, the suspect opened fire through his apartment door, discharging between three and five rounds.

No officers were hit during the initial gunfire, police said.

For several hours, NYPD negotiators attempted to de-escalate the situation. However, at approximately 8:25 a.m., the suspect fired again, striking an officer in the shoulder.

The wounded officer was quickly transported to Bellevue Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
