The Brooklyn officer who survived being shot in the head appeared in court today as the man accused of shooting him went before a judge.
According to authorities, 21-year-old Luis Ortiz shot officer Kevin Brennan at the Bushwick Houses on Jan. 31. Brennan, who underwent surgery to remove a bullet from his skull, was promoted to detective last week.
Ortiz has been charged with first-degree attempted murder. He faces a maximum of 25 years to life in prison if convicted. He'll be back in court again on April 16.
