"A heroic off-duty cop getting her hair done at a Brooklyn beauty salon got into a shootout Saturday night with an armed thug who burst into the shop, striking him at least once, police said.
Officer Feris Jones, who works in an NYPD crime lab in Jamaica, Queens, was a customer at Sabine's Hallway on Franklin Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant around 6:30 p.m. when the thug rushed into the business and demanded cash, police said.
Jones, 50, showing nerves of steel, immediately confronted the bandit, identified herself as a cop and ordered the man to drop his weapon.
Instead, the callous crook began blasting away, firing at least three times, but missing Jones, sources said.
Undaunted, Jones bravely returned fire, shooting twice and hitting the punk at least once, sources said. The injured man fled.
Cops later followed a trail of blood from the salon to the nearby Lafayette Gardens housing project. A search of the building came up empty and there were no arrests last night.
No one in the salon was injured."
TOTALLY BADASS. End. Of. Story.
Perhaps the best part comes at the end, though:
Jones was treated and released from Kings County Hospital. "Her hair looked fine to me," a police source said of Jones' coif, post-shootout. [emphasis added]
