NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two New York City police officers were shot in the leg late Thursday in separate incidents, including a shooting aboard a subway train, police said.
Two plainclothes officers aboard a subway train headed toward Manhattan from Brooklyn at about 7:30 p.m. EST (0030 GMT) asked a man walking between train cars for identification, said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly in a statement.
The man appeared to be reaching for his wallet but instead pulled out a 9-mm Taurus handgun and opened fire.
Officer Lukasz Kozicki, 32, was struck once in each of his upper thighs and once in the groin, Kelly said.
His partner, officer Michael Levay, 27, was shot in the lower back but protected by his bulletproof vest. Levay returned fire and killed the gunman, Kelly said.
A passenger in the subway car suffered a graze wound in the leg, he said.
