A shocking incident occurred at a White Plains bar on October 19th where a Yonkers Police Officer shot himself.
At the Brazen Fox bar and restaurant on Mamaroneck Avenue, a YPD officer accidentally discharged his firearm while in the bathroom. He was reportedly attempting to adjust his pants when the gun went off. The unnamed officer was off-duty and immediately reported the incident to both White Plains and the Yonkers police departments.
The officer remains in stable condition with no critical injuries. Fortunately, no other patrons of Brazen Fox reported injuries stemming from the dangerous shooting incident.
