Major Shootout with
Police injurs 15 and kills one officer
NJ police officer dies from shootout wounds
- JERSEY CITY, N.J. — A city police officer who was critically
wounded in a shootout with two armed robbery suspects last week
died Tuesday, one day before his 38th birthday and the same day
police engaged in another gun battle nearby.
Detective Marc A. DiNardo, a 10-year veteran who had been on
life support, was pronounced dead around 9:35 a.m. after doctors
harvested his organs for transplant.
The 37-year-old was hit by a shotgun blast to the face July 16
as his SWAT team stormed the apartment where the suspects had
taken cover. DiNardo had no signs of life when he arrived at
Jersey City Medical Center that day and had to be revived
several times before being stabilized in critical condition.
"This is such a great loss to us," Mayor Jerramiah Healy said.
"It takes a special person to run toward danger when your most
basic human instinct is to avoid it. Marc exemplified that
special character."
Four other officers were shot in the encounter and three more
suffered minor injuries.
SWAT team member Michael Camacho was upgraded from critical to
serious condition Sunday with two gunshot wounds in his throat.
The 25-year-old was still hospitalized Tuesday morning when a
car chase roared through the street outside the hospital. The 3
a.m. chase and gun battle ended one block from a precinct
decorated with purple and black bunting for DiNardo.
