Brooklyn detective who works at NYPD’s 63rd Precinct in Flatlands was shot in the shoulder in New Jersey late last night after he was caught at the shooter’s house with the man’s estranged wife, neighbors and authorities said.
The policeman was “grazed” in the shoulder on a tree-lined residential street in Manalapan in Monmouth County and was treated for non-life threatening injuries at a local hospital and has already been discharged.
Robert C. Dunbar, 35, originally of Staten Island, the husband has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose, Monmouth County authorities said.
Robert had arrived home about 11:30 p.m. to find his wife with her new detective boyfriend and shot him while his two young daughters were sleeping in the house, sources said.
Cops chased his cell phone signal to a town nearby but found the device had been dumped.
“He’s still at large,” said Christopher Gramiccioni, acting prosecutor in Monmouth County, who is spearheading a manhunt for Dunbar alongside state and federal authorities.
Though, neighbors say the couple was going through marital problems and Dunbar’s wife tried to have a restraining order placed against him.
According to one neighbour,
“We knew there were some problems going on. We knew they were separating, I talked to the husband, he seemed like a nice guy...it’s very unusual for this area,this is totally out of the ordinary.”
The couple has a for sale sign outside their home, which neighbors say went up a few months ago.
