NC woman's stolen gun used in NYC officer shooting

HOPE MILLS, N.C.

Diane Wells said the gun was stolen out of her car at a car wash.

"I was completely shocked. I didn't know the gun was stolen until I parked in the yard, in the driveway, then I realized it," Wells said. "I called them, but they said they couldn't do anything."

Police said a man used the weapon to shoot an off-duty cop fending off would-be robbers at a used car dealership in the Bronx.

The officer was able to subdue the shooter. Now four men face charges in connection with the incident.
