Detective Mark DiNardo died from gunshot wounds he received five days earlier when he and four other officers were shot while attempting to appended two suspects wanted for robbing and shooting a citizen.

On the morning of Thursday, July 16, 2009, a Jersey City Police lieutenant and police officer were staking out a parked car believed to have been the getaway car used in a violent robbery in which a person was shot. At 5:15 a.m two suspects, one male and one female, wearing bathrobes entered the vehicle, moved it across the street and stepped back out. The lieutenant and officer ordered the suspects to stop, but the male suspect turned, pulled a shotgun from under his robe and began firing, grazing one officer in the leg and shattering the windshield of the unmarked police car used in the stakeout.

The suspect then fled to a third-floor apartment on Reed Street and dozens of backup police officers from Jersey City, the Hudson County Sheriff's Office and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey began arriving on the scene.

Officers spent the next hour and a half evacuating the building. At about 6:45 a.m., members of the Jersey City Emergency Service Unit, including Detective DiNardo, approached apartment 3B and demanded that the occupants come out. When no one answered, the officers used a battering ram to gain entry. Upon entering, the officers were immediately fired upon by the suspect. Detective DiNardo was shot in the face, and a second officer was shot in the neck. Additionally, another Jersey City Police Officer was wounded along with a police officer from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department.

Both suspects were shot an killed in an exchange of gunfire with the officers as the officers entered the apartment.

It was later determined that the male suspect, who shot the officers, was a violent career criminal who had recently been released from prison, after serving five years for weapons possession charges that Detective DiNardo had arrested him on.

Detective DiNardo was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center where he died five days later from his wounds. His organs were all donated for transplant.

Detective DiNardo had served with the Jersey City Police Department for 10 years and was assigned to the Emergency Service Unit. He is survived by his wife and three young children.

Son of a bitch. I was hoping he was going to make it. It said he coded several times on the way to the hospital. It never sounded good but I was holding out hope.

At least the shitbags will never walk this earth again.

Rest in peace brother.

We've been watching this on the NY news this week. My sympathies for his family, friends and brothers in service.

My real problem with this is what I have seen on the NY news, this officer's death and the entire shoot out has become a rallying cry for the anti-gun movement. The mayor of Jersey City was on TV yesterday screaming about the bill in front of congress, saying it would cause more police officer deaths, an obvious lie and then some.

Then tonight on the news the talked about him again and the segwayed into a diatribe about how there are 'too many guns'. One guy even said guns are easier to get today than and time before ... but the one that made me want to kill the TV was the moron that said '7 out of 10 gang members and criminals are now armed' and then said "this didn't happen 25 years ago"

Well no SHIT asshole, this didn't happen 25 years ago because 25 years ago parent were actually parents, they didn't throw their kids to the street ... personally we don't need to outlaw guns, we need to outlaw IDIOT people that have kids for no other reason they are too lazy or stupid to use a condom!

Sorry for the rant but this brave officer's death is being used in that area as a rallying cry to remove all guns from everyone ... something we all know don't mean jack shit.

+1 But the anti's do not need a tragedy to rant their lies. They just use these situations because they know that they can play on peoples emotions.

And that there is 100% wrong, using the death of an officer to spread fear and lies.

I'm with you one hundred fucking percent!! Those fuckers should have been put away for life to start with! It looks like DiNardo already took him down once, but he got fucked over by the court and the bastard got back out, only to kill the cop! The judge who let that happen should be charged as an accessory in this homicide!
