While responding to an attempted robbery in New York Tuesday night that led to the friendly fire death of a police detective and an injured sergeant, seven officers fired off a total of 42 rounds, officials said. Brian Simonsen, a 19-year veteran of the NYPD’s 102nd precinct who was fatally shot in the chest, and Sgt. Matthew Gorman, who was shot in the leg, are believed to have been among those who fired weapons, the officials said. All of the shooting occurred outside the location and the two officers who were struck were brought to Jamaica Hospital, following which Simonsen died, officials said. Five officers captured parts of the scene on body cameras and investigators are also reviewing surveillance footage from the store, he added.
