An NYPD officer is out of the hospital after being shot responding to a domestic dispute in Brooklyn.
Hours after being shot in the foot, Officer Orlando Adorno made his way out of Kings County Hospital surrounded by his NYPD family. He gave a thumbs up as he walked into a car to head home.
"He answered a call for help. He is a 7-year veteran officer. He is a husband and a father, and thankfully he will recover," said NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell.
Around 8:30 a.m., he was responding to a 911 call for a domestic dispute at an apartment building on Gates Avenue. According to police, the female caller said her male friend was damaging the wall and refusing to leave.
The officers arrived to find the two people outside, and went into the building to investigate the claims.
"When the officers came downstairs after seeing the damage to the wall, they came down, they were attempting to place him under arrest. He struggled. A shot was fired, striking our officer in the foot, and then our perpetrator took off," said NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig.
The suspect, identified by police as 41-year-old Raheen Joye, ran off. Responding officers spotted him on Monroe Street, where shots were exchanged. Joye was shot twice in the thigh.
Video shows the arrest before he was taken to the hospital.
Police released a photo of a gun they say they recovered at the scene.
Police say the incident was captured on body camera video. According to sources, it shows people on the street at the time of the shootout, including a woman and child. Thankfully, nobody else was hurt.
"Because of Officer Adorno and his partner's actions, we have a dangerous person off our street. We have an illegal gun off our street," Mayor Eric Adams said.
Police say Joye has 17 prior arrests in Georgia, an outstanding warrant for weapons possession in Troy, N.Y., and CBS2 has learned three prior arrests here in New York City.
It's not clear yet what charges the suspect will face in this case.
Sewell said Adorno is the 10th NYPD officer shot this year.
