Irish American NYPD cop shot in head is conscious and talking

Miracle - Kevin Brennan asks for baby daughter Maeve, waking up after close range shot to the head

Before his confrontation with Brennan, Oritz had fired two other shots at a man “with whom he had a staredown” said Kelly.

Brennan was on duty with the Brooklyn North Anti-Crime United. He responded to a call of a man with a gun and chased Ortiz through a housing project at 140 Moore Street, Bushwick.

Kelly said “We do have some video that I’ve seen. You see the officer right on top of this individual, or an effort to tackle him.”

According to Kelly, Brennan had “his gun out”.

He said “You also see that Ortiz has a gun in his hand. They struggle and fall in sort of an alcove where you can't actually see the shot, but you see Ortiz with his arm around the officer's head and then he's shot.

"He doesn't move after he's shot."

Three hours after the incident Ortiz (21) was found at his friend’s house on Bushwick Avenue. Ortiz was know by his neighbors as “a violent terror who runs with the Latin Kings” (a local gang).
