Officer Moore is fighting for his life.
Moore was shot in the head after stopping to question a man in Queens.
From last night’s report——
Steve Bognar reports on Twitter that NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said the wounded officer, Brian Moore, twenty-five years old, is still in surgery.
Bratton identified the suspect in custody as thirty-five year old Demetrius Blackwell.
A photo of the arrest of Blackwell was retweeted by retired NYPD officer John Cardillo.
