Disturbing Footage Shows NYPD Cop Get Shot In The Stomach By A Career Criminal

Slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller can be seen writhing and screaming in pain just seconds after he was shot in the stomach by an alleged career criminal while on the job in Queens, disturbing surveillance footage shows. Three gunshots can be heard echoing down the relatively quiet Far Rockaway street as Diller, 31, appeared to tussle with suspect Guy Rivera, 34, near the open passenger door of a dark gray Kia Soul, according to the footage shared Wednesday by the Instagram account @ny_scoop. Diller can be seen dragging himself behind the car and collapsing on the pavement, while Rivera falls out of view onto the sidewalk. Diller’s partner – who was on the driver’s side of the car – then fired two return shots, at least one of which struck Rivera in the back, according to cops.

In the seconds after the shots rang out, Diller’s partner pulled a man later identified as Lindy Jones, 41, from the driver’s seat and yelled at him to “get on the f–ing floor” before putting him in handcuffs. Another officer appears to try to help Diller – who is screaming and occasionally moaning what sounds like “Oh, God!” When Rivera arrived at the hospital, doctors discovered a shiv stashed up his rectum, a source told The Post Tuesday. The ex-con – who has 21 prior arrests – may have stashed the weapon because he thought he was going to be arrested later that day for a different crime and wanted protection in jail, the high-ranking source explained.
