A 30-year-old man was shot in the head at around 9:15 p.m. and was taken to the hospital via private means, police said. Sources said the victim has been declared brain dead, but still alive as of Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The detective from the Gracie Mansion\u00a0security detail has not been charged, sources said.<\/p>\n

The NYPD officer is accused of opening fire and hitting a person inside a car during an altercation that was caught on surveillance video.<\/p>\n

According to PIX11 News sources, the off-duty detective was following a car with people he suspected of stealing his vehicle.<\/p>\n

The two vehicles then pulled over in front of an apartment building. When one person got out, a confrontation followed. A gun was raised, and sources said one of the bullets struck a passenger inside the car in the head.<\/p>\n

Another bullet went through the window of a nearby restaurant, narrowly missing patrons and a bartender inside.<\/p>\n

Video appears to show the detective detaining a person on the ground as the suspected car thieves drive off, rushing the gunshot victim to a Manhattan hospital. Sources said the cop identified himself at the scene after police responded to the shooting.<\/p>\n

If the victim dies, the investigation will be referred to the New York Attorney General\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

The NYPD\u2019s Force Investigation Division is handling the case.<\/p>\n
