Nobody was hit by gunfire during the chaotic scene that unfolded when the cops spotted the male suspect shooting another man about 5:40 p.m. at the intersection of Dix Avenue and Beach Channel Drive in Far Rockaway, according to law enforcement sources.

The man being shot at then ran towards the officers’ patrol car before the suspect fired several rounds at the vehicle, breaking a window, according to sources.
