The victim can be seen approaching a parked vehicle as a passenger exits.
Suddenly, the suspect strolls up behind the officer, pulls a firearm, and discharges it at the man’s head.
The wounded man slumps to the ground and the suspect flees the scene, leaving him for dead.
The shocked passenger can also be seen running away in terror.
Incredibly, the victim survived after being rushed to hospital in critical condition with gunshot wounds to his ear and shoulder.
“We believe he was the intended target,” said Deputy Police Commissioner Frank Vanore.
“We have some witnesses saying a car pulled up, shots were fired, and then a car pulled away.”
Authorities are still seeking the suspect, according to the latest available updates at the time of this writing.
