An NYPD officer shot a man as cops executed a search warrant inside a Bronx apartment early Thursday, police sources said.
After cops entered the apartment on Willis Ave. near Bruckner Blvd. in Mott Haven about 7:15 a.m., the man pointed what appeared to be a gun at the officer, the sources said.
The officer opened fire in the apartment’s bedroom, striking the man, who was rushed to Lincoln Hospital. His condition wasn’t immediately clear.
No officers were hurt.
The NYPD Force Investigation Division was on the scene hours later probing how the shooting unfolded.
