Wild Scene on Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn -- Car Smashes Truck, Cop Fires Gun

Cops chased a stolen car from Downtown Brooklyn to Atlantic Avenue this afternoon, where a situation developed when the thief smashed the car into a trailer used on ABC's "Pan-Am" TV set. While trying to get the crook out of the car the driver apparently zoomed backward and a cop accidentally discharged a bullet -- which went through an apartment window over Urban Outfitters.

In the commotion the stolen car zoomed away, never to be seen again. One police officer was slightly injured but thank goodness no one was standing near the window upstairs. More details at Carroll Gardens Patch
