A police officer chasing a suspect in Harlem was shot around 4:20 p.m. this afternoon—and the suspect is dead. According to the Post, a Queens detective had been chasing a man into the subway station at West 145th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue when he was hit: "The officer was shot once in the left arm and rushed to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, officials said. He is expected to survive, they said."
The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. Apparently the man was "being sought in the brutal shooting of a 21-year-old woman in the Rockaways yesterday, was shot once in the chest, authorities said." (The cop is part of the violent felony squad.)
The MTA announced, "Due to a police investigation at the 145th Street Station #A #B #C #D trains are bypassing the station in both directions."
