<\/p>\nKINGSBRIDGE, The Bronx (WABC) — An investigation is underway into a shooting by an off-duty NYPD officer Monday night in the Bronx that left one man in critical condition.<\/p>\n
Video, which captured the incident, shows the off-duty officer drawing and aiming his weapon at someone, then pinning the man down behind a white car.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sources told Eyewitness News the officer’s own car had been stolen, and he believed the people in the white car were responsible, including the man he was holding down.<\/p>\n
This surveillance video shows a single shot fired, piercing the driver’s side window of the car before the vehicle takes off, just missing a Bx10 bus on its way to Norwood, and hitting the window of a bar across the street on West 231st Street and Albany Crescent.<\/p>\n

The bar already got the window fixed, in time for St. Patrick’s Day.<\/p>\n
The manager on duty, who asked that Eyewitness News to not identify her, told us customers thought the bus blew a tire, until the window shattered.<\/p>\n
“Everybody was like ‘oh my god, that’s a shot,'” she said.<\/p>\n

She later learned the person who fired it was an off-duty officer, and says he should have known better.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think he was thinking clearly, because to shoot like that, that’s not really professional or a responsible person,” the manager said.<\/p>\n
Luckily, no one was hit with the glass, inside or outside, or on the bus. She says this could have been so much worse.<\/p>\n
“You’ve got the person down, why do you have to shoot to the car?” she said.<\/p>\n
The person shot in the car is in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head. He’s 30 years old.<\/p>\n
Someone brought him to the hospital, possibly in that car.<\/p>\n
The off-duty officer works in the NYPD’s Intelligence Division, according to sources, and has been placed on modified duty.<\/p>\n
