Off-duty correction officer shoots 2 armed robbers in the Bronx after date allegedly sets him up

 

The robbers allegedly lured the correction officer, who's in his 20s, with the promise of a date with 21-year-old Diamond Sanchez at around 6 p.m. on Saturday, the sources said.

The pair were sitting in a car on East 183rd Street and Tiebout Avenue in Fordham Heights when the two alleged armed robbers, Christian Santana, 22 and Leonel Cuevas, 26, approached the vehicle, sources said.

One of the two men pulled out a gun and demanded the correction officer give up his belongings. The officer, who was armed as well, opened fire from inside the car, sources said.

The correction officer, who police have not identified, let out multiple shots, hitting Cuevas several times in the chest and Santana in the stomach.

Both men were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital with Cuevas in critical condition and Santana in stable condition.

At the scene, one of the alleged robbers dropped a gun which Santana attempted to hide, police sources said.

All three are charged with robbery and criminal possession of a weapon. Santana had an additional charge of tampering with evidence tacked on.

The correction officer is not expected to face any charges

A man was reportedly arrested after he crashed his car into Taylor Swift's New York City apartment building.

According to TMZ, the unidentified man drove the wrong way down Swift's street and when he tried to reverse he struck the building and a fire hydrant.

The guy allegedly then jumped out of his car, went up to the building's intercom system and tried to rip it out of the wall.

An onlooker called the police and NYPD officers took him into custody. The man was escorted to a nearby hospital to reportedly undergo a psych evaluation.

Cops told TMZ that the man said he "was not going to leave the area until he met with Taylor."

The man had reportedly been drinking and currently faces potential charges for DWI and criminal mischief. It's unclear if the "Love Story" singer was home at the time of the incident.
