Retiring New York Detective Shot In Hudson Valley, 1 Dead

An officer who protected the Hudson Valley for 27-years is fighting for his life after he was shot days before he was set to retire. A father of five is dead.

On Wednesday around 2:10 p.m., members of the FBI's Westchester Safe Streets Task Force, a multi-agency task force including members of the Yonkers Police Department, were conducting a law enforcement investigation in the area of Elm Street and Linden Street related to illegal firearms.

Police also didn't identify the suspect, but Vanessa Jackson, the suspect's mother, identified him as Bryant Jackson Adams Jr.

Vanessa said her son is a father of five who was visiting from the Atlanta area and was not involved in any type of illegal activity.

"You won't let me identify his body, nothing. You just killed my child, now you're having him sit in the morgue, telling me 'Oh well, what do you want me to do?'" Jackson said, according to NBC. "I want to see my son...I have been to Jacobi, St. John's, Yonkers General just to find out my son was laying right there at St. Joseph's Hospital."

Illegal Guns Allegedly Found At The Yonkers Crime Scene

Police say two illegal guns, including one that allegedly belonged to Jackson were recovered at the scene.

The Yonkers Police Department confirmed surveillance video captured the shooting event. However, police have yet to release surveillance video.

The FBI confirmed the shooting but has yet to fully comment.

"Earlier today, members of our Westchester County Safe Streets task force were involved in a shooting incident in Yonkers, NY. As this is an ongoing investigation, we have no further information to provide at this time," the FBI New York tweeted on Wednesday.
