Two police officers are in stable condition after being shot while trying to apprehend a suspect in Bed-Stuy. NY1's Bree Driscoll has the story.

Security cameras at the Mechy Food Store on Malcolm X Boulevard picked up police and ambulances responding to two police officers shot.

"I just heard shots, and when I heard shots I woke him up to make sure he was safe," Clark Clercian said.

After Clercian woke up his friend, Nelson Alduende, the two looked outside.

"I was sleeping and my friend was sleeping over, and the next thing I know I see so many lights in the neighborhood," Alduende said.

Police say two housing officers heard gunshots fired near the intersection of Quincy Street and Malcolm X Boulevard around 3:20 a.m. Saturday.

They approached the car of 34-year-old Jamal Funes when, according to officials, he pointed a gun at them out his window and took off.

"At the corner of Lexington Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard, the suspect, driving the wrong way, rammed a responding marked patrol car from the 83 Precinct," Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said.

Police said that is when multiple officers engaged in gunfire with Funes, hitting him several times.

Two plainclothes officers who were in an unmarked car behind Funes's vehicle were also hit.

Officer Andrew Yurkiw's protective vest saved the 29-year-old from a bullet to his chest.

33-year-old officer William Reddin was shot in the hip just below his vest. Both officers are expected to be OK.

"This incident certainly underscored the importance of the vests that we invest in for our police officers and how we have to keep them safe in every way we can," Mayor Bill de Blasio said.

Police say Funes was brought to Brookdale Hospital in critical condition. 

"The suspect was armed with a .357 magnum revolver with five spent shell casings still in the revolver," Bratton said.

Police spent Saturday investigating on Malcolm X Boulevard. They say all of the shootings were captured on ShotSpotter, a sensor detection system that pinpoints the location of gunfire.

Still, people who live in the area are rattled by the incident.

"I'm stunned," Alduende said. "I'm really stunned that it could happen this close to home."

The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
