An NYPD assistant chief is under investigation after allegedly firing a stray shot during an off-duty altercation in Haverstraw on Sunday night.
Sources tell Monsey Scoop that NYPD Assistant Chief Benjamin Gurley was involved in a physical confrontation with his daughter’s boyfriend, who was allegedly harassing her. During the incident, a shot was fired, though no injuries from the gunfire were reported. Gurley reportedly sustained an arm injury and is expected to recover.
The Haverstraw Police Department is leading the investigation, while the NYPD’s Force Investigation Division and Internal Affairs Bureau are also reviewing the incident. Gurley’s duty status has reportedly not changed at this time.
Gurley has been with the NYPD since 2000 and currently oversees Bronx North operations.
