Officer Shot...Vest Works
BPD Officer Cirello was shot yesterday while working an uniformed overtime detail (in the SED) due to high incidents of Robberies. The Examiner reports the Officer stopped someone inside Patterson Park who subsequently hit the Officer over the head with a bottle then shot him in the chest. Fortunately for the Officer, he was wearing his vest and only incurred a minor head noogy from the bottle. It is suspected that return fire flew the suspect's way as police searched area hospitals for anyone needing treatment for a gunshot wound.
Word is Officer Cirello had a partner, it is believed the partner returned fire. No one has given a good description of the suspect(s) and the second Officer is not mentioned in any of the broadcasted reports...so we'll have to take the partner info with a grain of salt for now. No further details have been given in reference to the assault.
We hear the official Homicide count is 190+ according to the MEs Office. Happily Officer Cirello did not become one of those numbers.
