A
New York City police officer saved his own life by sticking his finger
between the hammer and cylinder of a gun jammed in his stomach by a
suspect. Officers Michael Miller and William Reddin pulled over a
speeding car in Brooklyn. They noticed one of the two passengers
adjusted something in his waistband area and asked everyone to step out
of the vehicle. Miller felt a gun during a frisk of one of the
passengers and ordered him to put his hands behind his head. The
suspect, Eugene Graves, attacked Miller, shoving the gun against his
stomach. Miller stuck his finger between the hammer and cylinder while
Graves attempted to fire several times, breaking Miller’s finger. Reddin
joined the struggle and helped restrain Graves, who was arrested on
several charges, including attempted murder of a police officer. Miller
was at home Saturday, nursing his broken finger.
