Overview

• Police say a husband-and-wife pair of off-duty NYPD officers were boarding an LIRR train around 7 p.m. when a 32-year-old man attempted to rob them.
• The wife, an off-duty officer, fired her weapon and wounded the suspect on the platform between tracks 18 and 19; neither officer was injured.
• The suspect was taken to Bellevue Hospital with gunshot wounds to the arm and stomach and was listed in stable condition.
• The NYPD’s Force Investigation is examining the firearms discharge and no charges had been announced as of the latest reports.
• Police activity brought a large response and at least one Ronkonkoma-bound train cancellation, though later reports noted no ongoing delays, and officials said the encounter may have begun on the train before moving to the platform.
