An investigation is underway into the events that led to an off-duty NYPD officer shooting a man in the head<\/a> in the Bronx.<\/p>\n

The shooting unfolded in Kingsbridge on Monday.<\/p>\n

NYPD sources told Eyewitness News that the officer involved believed that the people in a white car had stolen his vehicle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Surveillance video shows the off-duty officer drawing and aiming his weapon at someone, then pinning the man down behind the white car.<\/p>\n

A single shot was fired. The bullet pierced the driver’s side window of the car and hit the 30-year-old man inside. Its trajectory continued, narrowly missing a BX10 bus on its way to Norwood, and finally shattering the window of a bar across the street on West 231st Street and Albany Crescent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old man in the car, who was shot in the head, remains in critical condition. Someone brought him to the hospital, possibly in that car.<\/p>\n

The off-duty officer works in the NYPD’s Intelligence Division and has had high-profile assignments at Gracie Mansion and City Hall, sources say.<\/p>\n

The officer has been suspended without pay as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n

No charges have been filed.<\/p>\n
