Officer Wilfredo Ortiz had been asked to re-enact what had happened to him while he was on patrol in the Roseland neighborhood early on New Year's Day 2014 when he heard gunshots and rushed to a nearby house. On a back porch, a man pointed a gun at him and refused to drop it, Ortiz testified. The veteran officer fired off 11 shots, critically injuring the alleged gunman and his brother on the porch and wounding their sister inside the home. Both brothers were charged with multiple felonies.
