An NYPD cop was shot in the head and chest and critically wounded in Queens on Saturday.

The anti-crime officer worked out of the 105th Precinct in Queens Village and was on duty when he was hit at around 6:15 p.m. It was not clear whether he was in uniform – anti-crime officers often do plainclothes patrols.

A suspect was initially believed to be holed up in a nearby building at 212th Street and 104th Avenue. Police sent hostage negotiaters to try to talk him out – only to discover it was a false tip.

The search has now expanded.

The cop, described as a four-year veteran who is not married, was rushed to Jamaica Hospital in a radio car. He was responding to a report of a person with a gun.

(In case anyone is wondering, that was a snarky response... It was either that or tears/fury)... God bless the officer and his family. May a miracle heal him.

"UPDATE, 9:17 PM: The New York Daily News reports that the officer’s injuries are not life-threatening. Sources tell the paper that “the suspect in custody was identified as Demetrius Blackwell.”"

Nope, another Son of Obama.

Please keep the injured police officer, his family, and the entire New York City Police Department in your thoughts tonight. — NYC Mayor's Office (@NYCMayorsOffice)
...So say Bill DeBlahsio, Who changed his name from the more "third reich-ish" sounding Warren Wilhelm. Hey, a sleazebag politician's gotta do what a sleazebag politician's gotta do to shore up the NYC Jewish liberal vote.

Demetrius Blackwell.

Really??? That name wouldn't pass muster in the cheapest novel ever written.

Why is not the New Black Panthers and Muslim Brotherhood guys not being arrested for the calls to violence against LEO’s? If that is free speech, then I wouldn’t be the least bit offended if they were taken out by someone.

Leos across the nation are in danger due to Obozo.

They are at even a higher danger if they are Leos in a big city with a rat mayor in charge, NYC, Baltimore, and ?!

Too bad he is not parallel to the ground and on a gurney.

“It is a painful day for all of us,” said Mayor de Blasio...

Why, because another Brother needlessly arrested? Maybe all powers of arrest should be taken away from the NYPD. That will show them.

Jamaica Hospital is the worst in the city.

Poor cop never had a chance once they brought him there.
