Both Bronx Cop-Shooters Indicted By Grand Jury

NEW YORK (AP) —

A grand jury on Monday indicted two men in connection with last week’s robbery of a Bronx bodega in which two police officers were wounded in a shooting.

The Bronx district attorney says 24-year-old Jason Polanco was indicted on attempted murder, robbery, assault and weapons charges. Accomplice Joshua Kemp was indicted on robbery and weapons charges.

Polanco shot one of the officer’s in the elbow and back and the other in the arm and chest. They say Polanco then forced people out of a car at gunpoint before crashing it blocks away. The 28-year-old Kemp is accused of using a gun to rob the store’s cash register.
