Police probing into Brooklyn s
A man was shot early Thursday morning by police officers in the second police shooting in Brooklyn in two days.
According to a police account, officers answered reports of gunfire around 1:40 a.m. and encountered a man in the courtyard, waited for him after he ran into a building, then took him to a local hospital when he came out.
The man suffered a gunshot wound to the thigh, but it is still unclear exactly when he was shot.
Some elected officials seemed skeptical of the police version of the incident.
"I'm not saying that they (police) did anything wrong in this case situation but we are investigating that," said City Councilman Charles Barron. "But every time a police officer discharges their weapon we are going to be on the scene, because even prior to all of this the police are out of control."
The victim is recovering at a local hospital. No weapon has been found so far.
Thursday's incident comes on the heels of another police shooting Wednesday in Brooklyn.
Officers investigating a robbery in Brooklyn chased 22-year-old Hassan Omari, then fired at him after he allegedly pulled a loaded gun out of his jacket and pointed it at them. The suspect was struck in the leg and taken to a hospital.
Police said the gun was loaded, and another loaded weapon was found with the other three suspects.
The two shootings came when investigation was still underway into a deadly police shooting that left an unarmed man dead and two others wounded late last month.
