Officer Scott Parker was shot and wounded when three men and a woman attempted to car-jack him in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. The suspects approached Officer Parker's vehicle and attempted to take his car. Officer Parker drew his weapon and was shot by one suspect in the neck. Officer Parker was able to return fire striking one suspect in the arm, wounding him. That suspect was arrested a block away. The other suspects were apprehended later in the week. Officer Parker was transported to Kings County Hospital where he remained on life support until his death.
Officer Parker had been with the agency for three years and was survived by his wife.
