What's going on in Queens?

Something serious is going on in Queens right now. I was just driving to work on Cross Island Parkway where they have blocked off 2 lanes due to some major police activity. I've counted 4 choppers (one of which has landed), something like 60 cops (some with guns drawn, going through the bushes on the side of the road) and detectives, and dozens and dozens of police cruisers. I managed to snap a few photos as we were driving by. Hopefully some of them came out ok. Will post in a few.

UPDATE

Mystery solved:

A manhunt is underway in Queens for the person who shot a police officer in Cambria Heights near the Nassau border just before 8 a.m. Tuesday.

UPDATE

Here are the photos of the choppers.

This photo was taken yesterday morning at Gerry Park in Roslyn.

It might not be as exciting as all those bar shots, but it's so serene that I just had to share it.
