Officer-involved shooting on Belt Parkway under investigation, NYPD says

Part of the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn was closed Saturday night due to an officer-involved shooting, police say.

It happened just before 7:30 p.m. near Coney Island Avenue in Sheepshead Bay.

According to police, officers were responding to a 911 call about a possible abduction. The person who called 911 also approached officers who were already in the area and flagged them down, police say.

The NYPD says officers attempted to pull over a white cargo van on the eastbound Belt Parkway near Exit 8, but the driver did not stop and allegedly rammed into other vehicles.

Officers then opened fire on the vehicle, striking the driver, police say. He was taken to a local hospital, and his condition is unknown.

No officers were injured, police say.

Further details have not been released at this time.

Video from the scene shows a number of NYPD vehicles and crime scene tape across part of the roadway. An NYPD van also appeared to be damaged.

Police said to expect road closures and delays. Drivers were urged to avoid the area.
