"Cops received a call from a father who said his adult son had robbed his mother and older brother at gunpoint at a residence around 9:16 p.m. on Van Nest Avenue, Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera said in a press conference early Friday morning. After responding to the scene, the father told police he believed his son had fled to a building near Paulding Avenue and East Gun Hill Road - sending police to barricade the residence, Rivera said."
"As officers attempted to keep the door closed while waiting for additional authorities to arrive, the gunman fired three shots from inside the building and attempted to flee out the front door, where a violent struggle ensued as cops tried to take him into custody, Rivera added. The unidentified sergeant fell back and struck his head during the fight, causing him to suffer a serious head injury, police said."
"An officer then shot at the 18-year-old gunman in the hallway of the building - striking him once in the lower back and once in the right arm, cops and sources said. The cop was brought to Jacobi Medical Center and is currently in stable condition, police confirmed. The suspect was also taken to Jacobi Medical Center and is currently in critical condition, cops said."

Police recovered a firearm, a bag, spent shell casings, and ballistic damage.
