Off-Duty Police Officer Charged With Killing Girlfriend

May 11, 2007

An off-duty NYPD officer was charged Friday with second degree murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend in Queens.

Investigators say the couple was arguing on the sidewalk near Atlantic Avenue and 82nd Street in Woodhaven Thursday night.

They say 37-year-old officer Harry Rupnarine was upset with his girlfriend – 22-year-old Guiatree Hardat – because Hardat wanted to break up with him. Police say he then pulled out his department issued gun and shot her.

"We believe that at the time of the shooting [the victim] was on the phone with her father, saying that she wanted her father to come and pick her up," said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.

"She called me to pick her up because apparently she has a very strong argument with her boyfriend," said the victim's father, Sukhdeo Hardat. "She later told me, 'okay don't worry,' she was going to take the bus. I didn't see her come on the bus so I went on Atlantic [Avenue] and that's where they found her ... I found her dead."

When police arrived, they say Rupnarine claimed he was the victim of a robbery and had accidentally shot Hardat while defending himself, but officers didn't believe his story and arrested him.

"The individual who did the shooting was pointed out by a witness," said Kelly. "The responding police officer grabbed this individual and disarmed in. It turned out to be an off-duty police officer."

People who live in the neighborhood and knew Harry Rupnarine say they are shocked.

"Never, never! That's why I'm like 'who? Harry?' He's very polite, very pleasurable individual,” said one neighbor. “I'm telling you, I cannot believe it."

"It's something that you would never imagine, especially in a neighborhood like this,” said another. “There are a lot of children outside. There's a school right there. You know it's just things that happen and you don't believe it."

"It's scary, you know, because now I walk with the baby that I take care of. And also I used to be scared of cops and now I'm more terrified of cops," said a third local resident.

Rupnarine works as a transit officer. He has been on the force since 2005.

The victim's father said that during the two years Rupnarine had been dating his daughter the couple had their ups and downs.

"He is very domineering," said Hardat. "He always wanted his way. And sometimes she cannot agree with him."

Police say there's no record of any domestic complaints about Rupnarine. Authorities said this was the first time he's fired his service gun in his two years on the job, except on the range.

He was ordered held without bail and to be placed in protective custody. If convicted, Rupnarine faces 25 years to life in prison.

His next court date is May 29th.

Const. Gerry Proctor tells his story

The 21-year-old woman was a passenger in a speeding pickup truck that careened over an embankment at the foot of Fraser Street and plunged into the river.



Const. Gerry Proctor, saw the woman surface in the cold, fast-moving river and cry out for help.



"I went in the water...take your breath away. And I remember thinking, 'Whoa.' Like it's a shock, it's a natural shock. I'm sure we've all experienced it. And it wasn't an option, right? She's there," he said.



"I knew physically I could get there. It just took a little mental determination to fight through that initial shock, and, you know, I swam out and grabbed her."







Road the pickup truck took down to the

Fraser River on Monday night

Proctor says although he was happy to have saved the woman, he's sad he could do nothing for her 31-year-old boyfriend who drove the truck into the water.

Answer 3

The vast majority of us are great people. But if you want to look at any group of people with some sort of common link then you can find some bad apples. You could very easily point out crooked politicians, drug addicted/dealing doctors, dentists who molest their patients, business men who steal from their company, pilots who fly drunk, school teachers who molest children, etc.



Anyone who claims that most cops are bad is a fool and it kills me how these people always claim that some "police officer" told them that things are bad inside the force.



Its unfortunate but true that not everyone in the world is a good guy.

SEATTLE OFFICER RECOVERING FROM SHOOTOUT IS HAILED AS A HERO!!!



SEATTLE (AP) -- A Seattle motel manager says the two police officers who shot a man to death in a crime-plagued area of the city's north end may have saved the lives of his son and stepson.

Tom Simcox, manager of the Georgian Motel, said the dead man, Robert P. Sullivan, 28, had been previously banned from his business near the scene of the shooting in which one of the two officers was wounded in the abdomen.

Officer Troy C. Swanson, 34, a six-year city police veteran and a former Marine with two young children, was listed in satisfactory condition Thursday at Harborview Medical Center. Doctors said he might remain in the hospital a week or longer.

"The dude's just the salt of the earth," Simcox said. "I owe him so much right now."

Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske cut short a trip in Washington, D.C., and returned home because of the shooting.

Sullivan had been sought on a warrant involving an escape charge and had previously been convicted of drug violations in Washington and California and of second-degree murder in Louisiana, authorities said.

Simcox told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer he had been trying to clean up the motel, which is in a high-crime area on Aurora Avenue North, State Route 99, since he arrived last summer.

The episode began, he said, when he confronted some people in a pickup at the rear of the motel parking lot after the deadline of 9 p.m. he has set for visitors. A woman staying at the motel got out of the truck, along with Sullivan, who had previously been evicted, Simcox said.

Sullivan began fighting after he was told to leave and the manager's son, Tommy Simcox, 23, and stepson, Jeremy Anderson, also 23, joined the fray. Breaking free, Sullivan pulled a gun and threatened to shoot them, the manager said.

Just then his son noticed Swanson and his special anti-crime patrol partner, Jon Huber, an 11-year veteran, in an unmarked sport utility vehicle.

"Thank God it was the task force doing their regular patrols," Simcox said.

Police said Sullivan fired three shots from across the street, then ran again, only to be intercepted by the police SUV once more. He fired at least twice through the driver's door and one of the shots hit Swanson beneath his protective vest before both officers got out and returned the gunfire, officers said.

Investigators believe Huber fired the shot that killed Sullivan, who died at the scene.

Police said he was wearing a fanny pack containing heroin and drug paraphernalia, and his weapon turned out to be a silver semiautomatic .22-caliber Taurus handgun that was stolen in a burglary at a house in Renton in October.

GOD BLESS OFCRS. SWANSON & HUBER AND ALL OF OUR BRAVE, HARDWORKING POLICE OFFICERS!!!

Law Enforcement From 11 U.S. Cities and Canada Honored for Protecting Children



Fifteen law enforcement officials from throughout the U.S. and Canada were honored by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) for their extraordinary efforts in recovering missing children and resolving child sexual exploitation cases.



The awards were presented as part of the 12th Annual Congressional Breakfast and National Missing and Exploited Children's Awards hosted by NCMEC on Capitol Hill. Each year, the event is attended by various members of Congress, along with federal, state, and local officials. The National Fraternal Order of Police and the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention each year partner with NCMEC to host the event in conjunction with National Missing Children's Day, which is observed on May 25.



Officers received awards for their work investigating cases of missing children and of exploited children, as well as for law enforcement excellence.



Recipients of the 2007 NCMEC Law Enforcement Excellence Award Sheriff David Gutierrez and Capt. Antonio Menchaca of the Lubbock County Sheriff's Office in Lubbock, Texas, were honored by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX) for their perseverance, resourcefulness, and diligence in recovering the remains of Joanna Rogers, the 16-year-old victim of a brutal attack. Officers recovered her body in a Texas landfill.

Answer 7

Snoop Dogg banned from Australia

Rapper Snoop Dogg has been banned from entering Australia after failing a character test, according to officials.

The star - real name Calvin Broadus - was due to co-host the MTV Australian Video Music Awards on Sunday.



The 35-year-old had his visa cancelled after recently pleading no contest to gun and drug charges in the US.



"He doesn't seem the sort of bloke we want in this country," Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews told Sydney's Macquarie Radio.



Incidents



"This man has been a member of a Los Angeles gang, and is still associated with it apparently, that's been involved in murder, robberies and drug dealing in the LA area," Mr Andrews added.



Back in February, when Mr Broadus last visited Australia, immigration officials warned him then that he could face a ban if he got into anymore trouble.



The rapper now has 28 days to protest the decision.



Donald Etra, the rapper's Los Angeles-based lawyer, said he had not heard from his client about the visa cancellation and could not comment.





The decision follows a string of incidents that Mr Broadus has been involved in over the past year.



He was recently given five years probation and 800 hours of community service in the US after pleading no contest to gun and drug charges.



And last month he was forced to scrap his UK tour with fellow rapper P Diddy after authorities denied him a visa.



On a previous visit to the UK, the rapper and members of his entourage spent a night in jail after being accused of starting a fight at Heathrow Airport.



He was also held overnight by police in Sweden on suspicion of using drugs.
