NYPD Officer Brendan Cronin, 27, was off-duty and had spent much of the night drinking with friends at City Island bar. Sometime around midnight he got in his car and drove away. While at a stoplight, he waved his 9mm handgun out the window before firing 13 rounds into an adjacent car, striking the passenger six times. Cronin was later arrested, but claims he was so drunk he doesn’t remember a thing, CBS reports.

The victim was struck in the torso, arm and hands and was transported to Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital and was listed in stable condition.

According to New York post, a witness who called 911 said the shooter, Cronin, was driving with his hazards on. That information helped responding officers to track him down, and after a brief yet intense standoff, Cronin gave himself up. He later claimed he blacked out from drinking so heavily and couldn’t remember the shooting.

The passenger was struck six times and was transported to an area hospital to be treated for his gunshot wounds.

According to Pelham Police Department Chief Joseph Benefico, the incident was “dangerous and bizarre.” The police chief also stated they have yet to establish a motive or determine “any link between the two persons.”

Cronin was charged with first-degree assault and has been temporarily relieved of his duties.

I wonder what would happen if I did the same thing?

From this incident it is apparent that only the police should be trusted with firea. . . . oh, never mind.

So he hit the guy 6 times out of a 13 rd mag? And he is a NYC cop? They will probably give him a raise. And on top of that he was drunk out of his mind and still had nearly 50% accuracy. This guy will be a living legend when he gets reinstated tomorrow.

Afterall not a single innocent bystander was hit (I mean aside from the innocent guy he was aiming at.)

Um.... the same thing that happened to him?

I'm guessing that since they had all those things to do with arresting him for the shooting that they conveniently forgot to test his BAC, so they can charge him with DUI as well?

Those NYPD cops get around:

First-degree assault, attempted murder, reckless endangerment, unlawful discharge of a firearm, driving under the influence, and reckless driving.

Those are just a quick few I can think of off the top of my head.
