No criminal charges had been filed in the case as of last evening, but Mr. Kelly said that detectives investigating the shooting were questioning Mr. Jamison's wife, who joined the force in 1994 and was also assigned to the 70th Precinct.

Later, the police said they had probable cause to hold the woman, identified by Mr. Jamison's mother as Alison Jamison.

Alison Jamison, 42, was stopped at a Budget Rent a Car facility at Newark International Airport sometime in the early afternoon, after the shooting, Mr. Kelly said. When she was taken into custody she was with a female friend, the police said.

Retired Police Officer Shot; Wife Is Held for Questioning
By AL BAKER and JANON FISHER

A retired New York City police officer was seriously injured early yesterday when a woman drove up alongside the car he was driving on a Brooklyn street and shot him at least four times, the police said. Within hours, the victim's wife, herself a city police officer, was being held by the authorities in New Jersey in connection with the shooting.

The shooting took place on a bustling weekday morning about 10 a.m. near a school in East New York when, the police said, a woman driving a silver rental car pulled alongside the victim's red Mercedes-Benz, fired a few shots, then sped to the corner.

She then made a U-turn and returned and fired several more times before driving off, the police said.

No one else was injured in the shooting.
