A crazed gunman fleeing a traffic stop on Staten Island opened fire on a police cruiser, brazenly shooting through his own windshield and hitting the car, cops and sources said. The two officers were not struck by the fleeing fiend’s bullet, but they were taken to a nearby hospital for possible injuries related to shattered glass, according to the NYPD. The incident began at around 7:30 p.m. when officers stopped the suspect’s Nissan SUV for a traffic violation near 290 Port Richmond Ave.

Jahmeik Modlin slowly starved to death in a squalid Harlem apartment — one of seven neglected and abused kids who died under the lax supervision of the city’s Administration for Children’s Services.
