In a shocking incident unfolding in Queens, New York, a teenage Venezuelan migrant allegedly shot two NYPD officers during a routine traffic stop. Bernardo Raul Castro-Mata, 19, reportedly opened fire on the officers after they attempted to pull him over for driving an illegal scooter the wrong way down a one-way highway.
The gunfire erupted just before 2 a.m. when police approached Castro-Mata, who responded by wielding an unlicensed firearm and shooting at the officers. One officer sustained a gunshot wound to the leg, while the other was hit in the bulletproof vest. Despite being injured, Castro-Mata managed to flee the scene on foot.
