The “gutsy” police officer shot in the face in Westchester County on Monday is expected to fully recover and is already sitting up in her hospital bed, laughing and talking, relieved officials said Tuesday at a press conference.

Officer Kayla Maher, 26, a two-year veteran of the Yonkers Police Department whose mother is a retired NYPD officer, was hit in the jaw by a blast from a Glock near the corner of Rumsey Road and Park Hill Avenue on Monday night.

She was one of five officers who responded to a call about music blaring from a car and was hit after the driver pulled out a gun and fired shots. Police returned fire, wounding one of the suspects.

Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano said he visited the hero cop at her bedside in Jacobi Hospital in the Bronx, where she was telling jokes.

“She is gutsy and you can see it,” said Spano.

“She is a wonderful police officer, heroic in what she did, gusty like we expected her to be. And she obviously comes from a fine line.”

Yonkers Police Commissioner Charles Gardner said her injuries could have been worse had a fellow officer not shoved her out of the way.

“The bravery and courage shown by our officers last night was nothing short of heroic. I’m very, very proud of you,” he said.

“We’ve identified both the suspects. I can tell you they are both Hispanic males, residents of the city of New Rochelle.”

Sources say one of the suspects is Frank Valencia, who was arrested in May when he was 17 when he was found with an arsenal of weapons, including a 9mm handgun, 300 rounds of ammunition, a machete and a set of brass knuckles.

Because of his age, he was made a youthful offender and last week sentenced to five years of probation.

Gardner said the suspect who shot Maher, and was then shot by police, is listed in serious but stable condition.

The second male was also taken into custody at the scene.

Nick Molinini, who owns a pizza shop across the street from Maher’s home, said customers and neighbors have been worried sick since learning the news.

“We pray for her,” Molinini said. “[She’s an] awesome person, great kid, great cop.”
