NEW YORK — A man charged in the blue-on-blue shooting death of a New York City police officer says the shooting stemmed from a “prank gone horribly wrong.”
Christopher Ransom told the New York Daily News in an interview published Friday that he only meant to carry out a phony holdup of a T-Mobile store in Queens.
He said he carried a fake gun and that a friend videotaped the stunt.
