Police said the shooting happened at the headquarters of the 41st precinct. An NYPD spokesperson says the injured officer is in stable condition at Lincoln Hospital. Officials say it is unclear if Sunday’s shooting is related to Saturday evening’s ambush on a patrol van in the same area. Police officials confirmed a suspect in Sunday’s shooting is in custody.

Owner Bob Nutting felt the moves were necessary following a last-place finish in the NL Central, though the Pirates opted to leave the roster largely untouched.

A gunman described as a soldier angry over a financial dispute killed two people and then went on a far bloodier rampage Saturday in northeastern Thailand, shooting as he drove to a busy mall where shoppers fled in terror. At least 20 people were killed in all, 31 were injured and others were believed to be still inside the building as more gunshots rang out early Sunday morning. Police commandos are searching the mall for the shooter, and police say they have now secured the building from the ground floor up. It was the country’s second mass shooting in about a month.
