Off-duty cop shoots himself during dispute with girlfriend
An off-duty police officer shot himself in the chest during a heated argument with his girlfriend Saturday morning in Brooklyn, sources said.
The couple were talking inside a silver Honda Accord — possibly breaking up –at the intersection of Wythe Avenue and Williamsburg Street West, when things took a violent turn just after 11 a.m.
The officer, who works at the 94th Precinct, shot himself near the heart, and was taken to Elmhurst Hospital in stable condition.
A crowd of at least 10 police officers stood alongside the Accord, peering inside and shaking their heads, as another group of officers stood nearby.
