UPDATE: According to NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce, the woman who was injured in the head by a cable wire was not related to the robbery. She is in stable condition and detectives are speaking to her now to determine how she was injured.

Authorities described the suspect as a 38-year-old man who had a long record of crime, including six recent burglaries in Queens and Brooklyn. They confirmed he was shot in the groin after police chased him down a block away from the house.

The woman who had reported the robbery went back into her home and scooped her dog. A cellphone video taken of the incident shows she ran away and was not her, authorities said.

 

A woman was shot in the head in a “police-involved shooting” near 66th Street and Hull Avenue, according to multiple reports.

She was hit a little before 2 p.m. on Monday afternoon. According to one neighbor, a woman called 911 when she saw her house being burglarized  from a live surveillance video.

According to the neighbor, the police shot the man in the groin and another woman, possibly a lookout, although authorities are unsure what role she played in the incident.

Local residents spotted blood hounds searching through the house. Helicopters have also been seen flying around the neighborhood.

No NYPD officials were hurt.

The two were sent to Elmhurst Hospital, where they are in serious condition.

More information will follow when made available.
