Lieutenant Stanley Przygocki succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained the previous day when he was shot while interrupting a robbery at a tavern at 185 Coles Street.
He was a patron in the bar when two armed men entered and announced a robbery. Lieutenant Przygocki identified himself and drew his service revolver. One of the men opened fire with a revolver, striking Lieutenant Przygocki three times. Despite being wounded, he fatally shot the subject and then chased the second man approximately 25 yards before collapsing.
Lieutenant Przygocki had served with the Jersey City Police Department for 20 years. He was survived by his wife and family.

View all 17 ReflectionsMy dad was a Jersey City Police Officer when the Lieutenant was shot. I was 7 at the time. I remember sitting on my Dad's lap while he called the District multiple times over the the 2 days to check on the Lt. The sadness when he learned of the Lieutenant's passing was palpable- Lt. Przygocki must have been an incredible man. I offer my deepest sympathies to his family, and my gratitude for his service and brotherhood.
