The NYPD says one person is in critical condition after being involved in a police-involved shooting in Brooklyn Tuesday night. 

Police say officers responded to a report of a suspect wanted for a past crime at the Dollar General located at 2120 Rockaway Parkway in Canarsie at around 4:45 p.m. 

Officers encountered the man in the vestibule of the store and he began to struggle with officers, according to police. 

During the struggle, police say the man pulled out a gun and shot at the officers twice. Officers returned fire and struck the suspect in the neck. 

The 45-year-old man was transported to Brookdale Hospital, where he is listed as stable but in critical condition. 

The two officers, who weren't struck by the fired bullets, were transported to a hospital for evaluation. 

The suspect’s firearm was recovered at the scene.
