NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- An off-duty police officer has opened fire in the Bronx.
Police say the cop shot and and killed a suspect who allegedly tried to rob his wife and daughter.
It happened inside 314 East 201st Street in Bedford Park just after 11:30 Saturday night.
Authorities say a 30-year old woman and her 3-year old daughter were followed into an elevator where the suspect grabbed them and pulled out a gun.
The woman screamed and her husband, the off-duty officer, ran to her aid. A witness says he heard him identify himself as a policeman.
Shots were fired and the suspect was hit. Police say he fled the scene, but was arrested a short distance away.
He later died of his injuries at Montefiore Medical Center.
