The man accused of shooting an NYPD officer in the head Saturday was arraigned Sunday, but did not enter a plea.
Demetrius Blackwell, 35, was ordered to be held without bail. He is charged with two counts of attempted murder, assault and weapons offenses, WCBS 880’s Jim Smith reported.
Officer Brian Moore, 25, was recovering from surgery Sunday. He is in critical but stable condition at Jamaica Hospital, CBS2’s Ilana Gold reported. Doctors told CBS2 it could take them a few days to determine the extent of his injuries.
A couple of hundred of Moore’s colleagues in blue packed the courtroom Sunday, with cops pouring out in hallway, WCBS 880’s Jim Smith reported.
Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, said they are going to be there for every court appearance to make sure that justice is served.
According to investigators, Moore was behind the wheel of his unmarked patrol car with his partner, Erik Jansen, around 6:15 p.m. Saturday in Queens Village. Both were wearing plain clothes and spotted Blackwell walking and adjusting something in his waistband, police said.
“Officer Moore positioned the vehicle behind the suspect and inquired about the suspect’s actions,” NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said. “The male immediately removed a firearm from his waistband and turned in the direction of the officers and deliberately fired several times into the vehicle.”
A bullet hit Moore in the head. The officers did not get out of their car or open fire.
