Two people are dead and a police officer was shot in the face this morning in Brownsville.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch says EMS was called to 1046 Thomas S. Boyland St. where they found a man had been shot. A shotgun shell was found in the vestibule of the building – leading officers to believe that the man was shot inside and had stumbled outside.

The victim, Leroy Wallace, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Tisch says two officers at the scene secured the area – one staying with the body and the other inside the building. That’s when she says a man opened a door of a first-floor apartment and shot an officer in the face with a bird-shot pellet.

The officer returned fire, and the shooter retreated into the apartment and barricaded the door.

Officer Sharjeel Worris, 25, was taken to Brookdale Hospital and is in stable condition, police say.

ESU officers flew a drone into the shooter’s first-floor apartment, where they found a man motionless on the ground with a shotgun next to him. ESU officers enter the apartment, and the man was pronounced dead.

Police have not yet released the name of the shooter.

Officials say Worris, a four-year-veteran of the department who works out of the 73rd Precinct, is in good spirits.

During the incident, Tisch said there was also a car collision involving two other responding officers. Those officers and another driver were all taken to Brookdale Hospital with minor injuries.
