New York Police Sergeants Benevolent Association President Ed Mullins sent the following statement to his membership:


Dear Fellow Sergeant,


It is with much joy and relief that I report that Sgt. Hugh Barry was acquitted of all charges related to the death of an emotionally disturbed woman named Deborah Danner on October 18, 2016. The three-week bench trial was heard before Judge  Robert A. Neary in Bronx Criminal Court.


NYPD SGT. HUGH BARRY FOUND NOT GUILTY

Bronx Supreme Court Judge Robert Neary has found NYPD Sgt. Hugh Barry not guilty for shooting a mentally-ill individual that swung a bat at the Sergeant's head. The Judge's ruling in the case should send a strong message to law enforcement that they should continue to take the necessary steps to protect themselves, their partners, and the public from dangerous threats. An adult swinging a baseball bat at an officer's head is a dangerous threat!

As Officer Covelesk entered the building, the suspect, who had been hiding inside, opened fire from 4-5 feet away striking Officer Covalesk twice in the chest.

The suspect then stood over the still-conscious Officer Covalesk and fired one more round killing him.
