New York-

December 11, 2005 -- The murder of Officer Daniel Enchautegui is the latest in an alarmingly long line of police shootings that have marred the latter part of this year.
It seemed 2005 was being good to New York's Finest until June 1, when Patrick Caprice was shot three times in the chest after pulling over David Redden for buying marijuana in Brownsville.

Caprice survived, but Redden later killed himself.

Later that month, Officer Christopher Wiesnecki was shot in the leg after a struggle with a weed-smoking gunman in Cambria Heights, Queens.

Then, on July 6, Sgt. Patrick O'Boyle was hit in the head, pelvis and leg and his partner, Officer Erik Hansen, was grazed in the ankle by a double-fisted, gun-toting madman who emptied two clips at them in Harlem.

Both cops survived.

Eleven days later, Officers David Harris and Dominick Romano were ambushed in Queens Village by a shotgun-wielding nut shooting at a church statue. They both survived.


Off-duty Officer Wiener Philippe was shot in the shoulder during a robbery near his Crown Heights home on the morning of Nov. 19.

Officer Dillon Stewart was shot dead less than two weeks later, Nov. 28, after a wild car chase in Flatbush. His alleged murderer, Allan Cameron, was also indicted in the Philippe shooting.

And last week, a Bronx drug kingpin was killed by police after he'd wounded State Troopers Peter Verdesi and Mark Ennis.
