NYPD housing officer shot BB gun in the neck

An NYPD housing officer sustained minor injuries when he was shot in the neck with a BB gun in Brooklyn on Saturday night, police and law enforcement sources said.

The officer was hospitalized after pellets flew onto Blake Avenue in Brownsville at around 5:40 p.m., police said.

Two hours later, dozens of cops were seen by The Post entering 335 and 337 Blake Ave., looking for the gunman.

Neighbor Mike Hunter, 81, said the driver’s window and the passenger window of his green Lumina were cracked by BB gunfire, leaving the street littered with glass.

“This is very bad. These guns,” he said. “It has gotten worse in the last year or the last six months. Every night you watch someone get shot or killed.

Another resident, who declined to give his name, said someone shot and damaged his car with a BB gun last week.

“Stupid mother… her here,” said another neighbor, who asked not to be named.

The investigation was ongoing.

The shooting took place after a city traffic cop was also shot with a BB gun while writing a summons in Queens on Friday afternoon, police said.

The victim was issuing a parking summons on New Haven Avenue and Beach 22nd Street at 3:15 p.m. in Far Rockaway when she was hit with pellets in the right arm and leg. He was not seriously injured.
