This shooting was Friday afternoon. There should be more info available by now. It seems somebody opened fire on him from a car driving parallel, which doesn’t sound random.
He may have been in uniform on way to or from work, or somebody may have tailed him from the cop shop.
Or he may have been targeted as a random white guy (assuming he’s white) or for some other reason.
But it does seem reporting on this shooting is being played down. To be fair, he isn’t dead, so the NYC case is bigger news.
I found one other article that said he was having surgery after an altercation with occupents of another car...who shot him in lower extremities. I think they shot through car door to hit his legs too.
