A veteran NYPD officer has been suspended after accidentally firing off his gun outside a Brooklyn biker club. William Powell is a Queens cop who has been on the force for 15 years. The 40-year-old officer was hanging out outside GridLoc Truck Club in Brownsville with friends yesterday around 3 a.m. when his gun went off and shot a hole through a friend's car.

Police sources told the News that Powell was "wasted drunk" and that "he'll be lucky to keep his job." more ›
