(CNN)Police
officer and former U.S. Army Ranger John Moynihan was honored at the
White House less than a year ago as one of the nation's "Top Cops" for
helping to save a transit officer wounded in a gunbattle with the Boston
Marathon bombers.
On Saturday,
Moynihan, 34, was in a medically induced coma at a Boston hospital after
being shot in the face at point-blank range in the city's Roxbury
neighborhood the night before. The gunman was shot and killed.
"He's a strong kid," Police Commissioner William Evans told reporters. "He's a fighter. He's going to pull through."
At 6:40 p.m. Friday, Moynihan and other officers pulled over a car in an
area where gunshots had been reported earlier, Evans said. The primary
job of the task force, also known as the gang unit, is to remove guns
from the streets. Moynihan walked up to the driver's side door. A man started to step out.
"Without provocation, as the driver is
getting out ... you can see his right arm come up point-blank and shot
officer Moynihan right below the eye," Evans said.
Evans described the officers approach as "very low key" and said they weren't "even close to having their guns out."
 
Re: and Black Lives Matter is having a protest today.......

Probably protesting that the cop did not die. Leftists being leftists.
