Just 37 days into 2022, New York City has seen seven cops shot — two fatally — in a series of on- and off-duty incidents that police union leaders say has left New York’s Finest with low morale throughout the ranks.
On Saturday, an off-duty housing cop was shot in the foot when two people exchanged gunfire, marking the seventh case of an NYPD member wounded or killed by bullets. There have been four police officers shot on duty and three off the job so far this year, according to the police press office.
