Bronx police shootings mirror 2014 slaying of Detectives Ramos and Liu
BOROUGHWIDE — The shooting of two police officers within 12 hours of each other in the Bronx this past weekend had eerie similarities to a Brooklyn shooting in which two police officers were killed over five years ago.
Thirty-one-year-old uniformed NYPD officer Paul Stroffolino was in a police van at East 163rd Street and Fox Street around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8. when he was approached and shot.
The bullet grazed Stroffolino’s chin and neck. He was released from Lincoln Hospital the following day to the applause of a large group of officers and elected officials.
