Welcome back to the Bronx News Roundup. Here are the Bronx-related stories we’re following today.

This story sounds like something you’d see on TV cop show: An off-duty police officer who lives in University Heights  was shot in the chest after stopping to intervene in a robbery, then ended up shooting one of the suspected robbers in the head (killing him) while bleeding from his wound. Here’s how Commish Ray Kelly describes it, via the NY Times:

“Holding his left hand over his wound, with his gun in his right hand, Officer Marcano moved to the middle of the street, took cover behind a livery cab, yelled to passers-by to get down and fired,” Mr. Kelly said. “He moved a second time, still holding his hand over his wound, to the west side of Harrison Avenue, where he took cover behind a parked car and fired another round at the suspects.”

Officer Ivan Marcano is in stable condition, while police are still searching for another two suspects who fled the scene.
