A Safety Officer Is Shot in Brooklyn

An off-duty school safety agent was shot in the chest while sitting in his car outside his family’s house in Brooklyn on Sunday evening, the police said.

The agent, who is 25, was taken to Kings County Hospital Center in stable condition, according to Paul J. Browne, the Police Department’s chief spokesman.

Relatives and neighbors at the scene identified the wounded agent as Brian Green, who lived with his parents on East 51st Street between Clarkson Avenue and Lenox Road in East Flatbush.

A neighbor, Rodney James, 22, said he had “heard three shots, then two seconds later, two extra shots.”

Eavean Bernard, Mr. Green’s aunt, said he had just dropped her off at her home nearby. He then drove back to East 51st Street, where the shooting occurred shortly after 5:30 p.m.

Mr. Browne said the shooting remained under investigation.
