NEW YORK — Police officers shot and critically wounded a man during a gunfight in the woods near Yankee Stadium in the Bronx late Saturday night, authorities said.
The confrontation unfolded at about 11:45 p.m., when officers in the 30th Precinct responded to a 911 call reporting a car break-in near W. 149th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, according to NYPD officials.
While they responded to that call, the officer spotted another vehicle driving recklessly, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell told reporters early Sunday.
