NEW YORK (AP) — A manhunt is underway for a gunman who critically wounded an off-duty New York Police Department officer.
Police on Sunday were looking for the man who announced a robbery Saturday night when the officer showed up at a Brooklyn street address to buy a car.
Authorities say an exchange of gunfire at the scene left the officer critically injured in a nearby hospital.
They say the deal to transfer ownership of a car had been made over a social media platform.
The officer, who was not identified, arrived at the scene with a relative.
