STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - The New York City Police Department says an officer shot while on duty on Staten Island on Tuesday morning is expected to make a full recovery.

Police said the female officer assigned to the 120th Precinct was responding to a domestic assault call on Parkhill Lane in Clifton around 8:15 a.m.

Commissioner James O'Neill said the female victim pointed the male suspect out as they drove through the neighborhood.

When four officers confronted him on Prince Street, he became combative and violently resisted arrest, police said.

O'Neill said an NYPD officer then deployed a Taser, hitting him in the back.

The man pulled out a gun and the officers grabbed his hands to direct the weapon away, O'Neill said. The man then fired two times. A police officer returned fire three times, striking the man, officials said.

In the exchange of gunfire, the female officer, whose name wasn't confirmed as of this writing, was struck one time in the left hand, O'Neill said.

The officer was transported to Richmond University Medical Center in stable condition and underwent surgery.

Police said the gunman, 39, was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name was not confirmed as of this writing.

Cellphone video shows the chaotic moments after the shooting. The female officer was seen running with a gunshot wound to the wrist while a man lay wounded in the street.

The injured officer joined the NYPD in January 2016.

Speaking at the hospital, Mayor Bill de Blasio said the wounded officer is "someone who exemplifies the American dream" in her journey to join the force.

Police Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch also praised the officers for their bravery and handling of the situation.

"But nonetheless, when that gun was raised in that perp's hands, our police officers didn't hesitate, they pushed right in. Knowing that they can be injured and shot. And she was, "Lynch said.

Police said a gun was recovered at the scene.

Police said the gunman has a history of committing violent crimes, including domestic assault and weapons charges.

Investigators said he was previously convicted of a shooting on Staten Island and served five years in prison.
