Police released dramatic body camera footage on Thursday that shows dramatic video of cops tackling a teen who opened fire on a Brooklyn street last month.
According to police sources, officers from the 67th Precinct received a ShotSpotter notification and a 911 call reporting that a person opened fire in front of 819 East 45th St. in East Flatbush at around 5:08 p.m. on July 26. ShotSpotter is the NYPD’s citywide network of sensors designed to detect possible sounds of gunfire and evoke a rapid police response.
Law enforcement sources said that a teenager was spotted firing at another male across the street at least four times before running from the scene. The motive for the shooting was not immediately clear. Close
