PhotoA 38-year-old man was shot on Monday by a New York City police officer who was responding to a burglary call in Queens, the authorities said. An officer entered the first-floor apartment and in the back bedroom encountered the man, who tried to charge past the officer. The man has an “extensive criminal history of burglary,” including six previous arrests, officials said. A single round was fired from the officer’s service weapon, striking the man in the groin, officials said. Her injuries appeared to be separate from the burglary nearby, officials said.
