deborah-danner

The five-year interval between Danner’s death and Barry’s department trial underscores the city’s ongoing failure to mete out discipline in a timely manner, advocates said.

NYPD officers are reportedly furious with Police Commissioner James O'Neill for his condemnation of a police sergeant who shot a mentally ill woman last October.

Sergeant Hugh Barry was indicted on second degree murder charges stemming from his fatal shooting of Deborah Danner in the Bronx.

"It is important to determine exactly what happened in this tragic incident."

The executive order making the AG a special prosecutor in police shootings only covers unarmed civilians.

"They should have known how to handle her."

"It should never have happened, simple as that."

Officials say the police sergeant was armed with a Taser he did not use.
