NY - Customer (Off-Duty Cop) Shot, Shoots 2 Armed Robbers

[Kevlar]

A heroic off-duty Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority cop got into a Wild West-style shootout yesterday with four armed thugs who tried to rob a Brooklyn auto-body shop -- blasting two of the suspects, authorities said.

Officer Anthony Pressly, 39, was shot in the shoulder during the gun battle, but was not seriously wounded, law-enforcement sources said.

The bloody skirmish began at around 8:30 p.m. inside the DSG Auto Repair on Albany Avenue near Atlantic Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

The thugs barged in and announced a robbery, ordered Pressly and the three civilians in the shop to lie on the ground.....

Glad everyone is OK ... except for the suspects

I don't suppose there's any chance that the author of the article has a snowballs chance in hell of actually reporting the news. Journalistic sensationalism is now the norm.

Wouldn't expect any less from The Post.

That's all I saw when I read it too. Pathetic.

Glad the bad guys got their's.
