"Dramatic video captures the frantic moments when two Brooklyn cops jump out of their patrol car and chase a gunman, firing 19 shots and wounding him. The Aug. 12 shooting happened at 7:30 p.m. on Ocean Ave. near Church Ave. in Flatbush. Police said Aaron Richard, 35, punched Edynesson Bauduy, 22, in the face, sparking a gunfight, with Bauduy firing first and Richard shooting back. Neither gunman, both ex-cons, were struck in the exchange."
"Meanwhile, two 70th Precinct cops on patrol nearby, Officers Christopher Lopez and Maxima Ortiz-Bonilla, heard the gunfire and quickly responded to the scene. Richard had taken off by then, police said that day, but Bauduy was still there. Body-cam footage shows the officers chasing Bauduy. At one point, Lopez can be heard yelling, "Get down!""
"Within 12 seconds of the cops getting out of their car, the incident was over, with Bauduy shot in the leg after Lopez fired at him 16 times and Ortiz-Bonilla firing at him three times. Bauduy and Richard, who was arrested later, were charged by the feds. Richard was recently paroled in April after serving two years in state prison for a Brooklyn hate-crime assault. Bauduy was paroled in June after serving time for robbery and for a shooting, police said."
