A video shows an NYPD vehicle crashing into a store on Victory Boulevard in Staten Island while responding to a call about a firearm. The incident occurred Friday night, injuring two officers who were later treated at local hospitals. The police cruiser swerved to avoid another vehicle making a U-turn but ended up hitting the storefront of Frutas & Abarrotes. The store's facade was severely damaged, and the owners will need to pay for repairs upfront before insurance reimbursement. The two injured officers are reported to be in stable condition. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
