"There has been an incident at West 4th street and 6th avenue," Mayor Bill de Blasio said at an unrelated press conference shortly after the shooting. "The basic outline: Two U.S. marshals and a member of the NYPD shot while trying to apprehend the subject."
De Blasio said the injuries were not life-threatening.
A suspect - who is reportedly a sex offender - was also shot, and he is now "deceased," the NYPD commissioner said at a press conference.
"The suspect who they were seeking to engage, I understand, is deceased and a firearm has been recovered," NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said. "Minimum details at this time. … The officers are all in treatment at this moment at this moment. There's a very active crime scene investigation."
The NYPD detective was a member of the police department U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, according to CBS New York.
Neither the NYPD nor a spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals could confirm the incident to Business Insider. The NYPD said it's an "ongoing incident."
