Lt. Marc DiNardo, Shot in the Line of Duty in Fierce Gun Fight, Not Expected to Survive Injuries

It is a real shame that a police officer, who was just doing his job, was shot and seriously injured at the hands of a low-life though. Jersey City Police Chief Thomas Comey said Lt. Marc DiNardo's condition has deteriorated and his death is imminent.

DiNardo was one of five officers wounded as they tried to enter an apartment holding a shooting suspect and another person. The officers were reportedly met with gunfire and a shootout ensued. Both suspects were killed. DiNardo suffered two gunshot wounds to the face.

It is certainly not fair and not right that a family has lost a son, husband and father. He has three young children and his 38th birthday is this Wednesday.

Officer Michael Camacho's condition was upgraded from critical to serious, and he has been moved out of the intensive care unit. Camacho was shot in the neck during the gun battle. The other three officers were treated at a hospital and released.
