2 U.S. Marshals and an Officer Are Shot in the West Village

By J. DAVID GOODMAN JULY 28, 2014

Two federal marshals and one New York City police officer were shot Monday afternoon in the West Village, authorities said.

A suspect was also shot.

The three law enforcement officers appeared to be in the process of executing a warrant at or near the corner of West Fourth Street and Jones Street, the authorities said. But it was not immediately clear what brought them to that location or if the person they were seeking was involved in the shooting.

A previously scheduled briefing by the police commissioner and the mayor was delayed and they were conferring with aides.
