The wounded man was found dumped on the street at Homan Avenue and Lexington Street, about five blocks west of the shooting scene. He was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was in critical condition and undergoing surgery for a gunshot wound to the head, according to sources....

The chief administrator of the review authority, Ilana Rosenzweig, would only confirm that a police officer fired his weapon and that one person was wounded. No police officers were hurt.

She would not say what precipitated the shooting, whether any shots were fired at the police, or if the wounded man was struck by an officer's bullet.

"It's under investigation," Rosenzweig said.
