Police: Shots fired at officers in the Bronx, no injuries reported
NEW YORK -- Shots were fired at NYPD officers in the Bronx on Friday, police said.
It happened around 7:40 p.m. at East 174th Street and Vyse Avenue in the Crotona Park section.
Police say officers saw someone with a firearm who then allegedly began shooting in the direction of the officers. The suspect then ran off.
Nobody was injured, but officers have been looking for the person.
The NYPD's Emergency Services Unit was still on the scene late Friday as officers went in and out of apartment buildings for hours.
Along with the ESU, the Force Investigation Division and Crime Scene Unit were there, as well.
One resident told CBS2's Ali Bauman off-camera that he heard several gunshots and then a group of officers running and yelling that someone was on the roof.
Many residents in the neighborhood have been waiting to get home while police try to find who fired the shots.
"They told me to wait for a few minutes, then they're gonna escort us in if they can," one resident said. "We're like a boxer, duck and weave everywhere you go. Welcome to the Bronx."
So far, there are no arrests.
