Police
Officer Robert Holmes was released from the hospital Friday, two days after
being shot during a gun battle with a suspect in the Bronx.
Officers
applauded Holmes as he exited St. Barnabas Hospital. His partner, Officer
Alejandra Jacobs, was released from the same hospital on Thursday morning.
The
two responded
Wednesday night to a 911 call about a man with a gun on Beaumont
Avenue.
During
a struggle with the man, police say that he pulled out a gun and
started shooting, hitting both officers.
The
NYPD says Jacobs returned fire, striking the suspect three times. Charges are
still pending against that shooter.
