眾贊中青撐港青／目測中國成匪區／NYPD好機智

一名產後沮喪的布魯克林媽媽離殺死自己和她的6個月大的嬰兒只有片刻路程，但Poconos的槍店老闆和一位思維敏捷的NYPD警察共同努力挽救了她。

這位27歲的母親住在賓夕法尼亞州，但一直在布魯克林與家人同住。她於周五初將6個月大的女兒帶離了附近的日托中心，並開始向自己的母親拉蒂卡·索普（Latika Thorpe）發送令人不安的簡訊和她的妹妹。

這位女士說，她的名字被隱瞞了，她說「再也不能這樣下去了」，並計劃殺死自己和嬰兒。

絕望的家庭成員打電話給紐約警察局（NYPD）尋求幫助，解釋這名新媽媽在女兒出生后一直很沮喪，沒有接聽電話，可能會去賓夕法尼亞州殺害自己和嬰兒。

米歇爾·謝克（Michelle Schack）軍官和她的搭檔Gulrej Nandha軍官趕到了Canarsie家。

 沙克對記者說：「時間至關重要。」他講述了精明而幸運的警察工作，這些工作可以挽救母嬰。

「我們必須以某種方式阻止這個女人，她有一個孩子和她自己要考慮，」在索普轉達她的擔憂時，沙克談到自己的想法。

「我們能夠使用我們部門的手機來追蹤車輛，我們看到它正在穿過Verrazano橋，」 Schack說道。

然後索普告訴她，那是通往該家庭在賓夕法尼亞州的家的路線。

沙克列出了一些選項。她可以與紐約州警察一起觸發「琥珀色警報」，除此之外，希望有人能找到它們。

但是後來索普提到在賓夕法尼亞州擁有槍支是一件容易的事，那就是當所有人都點擊了Schack時。

「那是我剛開始快速思考的時候，『我們叫槍店。她最有可能去的地方。」沙克解釋說。

她問索普（Thorpe）是否有任何東西要回家的Poconos家中。索普不確定。但事實證明確實如此。

Schack在Google的Scotrun上隨機發現了Pocono Mountain槍支，並一時興起地打電話給所有者。她給店主描述了媽媽和寶寶，希望他們能進來。希望當地警察能夠在媽媽帶著槍離開商店之前阻止媽媽。

「在兩分鐘之內，他回了電話，說'他們在這裡'，」沙克談到商店老闆。

「我說你必須拖延他們。」

該商店的老闆，50歲的邁克爾·康福蒂（Michael Conforti）告訴《郵報》，當紐約警察局第一次打電話給他時，他想知道這是否是惡作劇。

但隨後他掛了電話，突然出現一名與紐約警察局描述相符的婦女，並駕駛紐約警察局描述的汽車。

「那是紅旗開始冒出來的時候，」 Conforti解釋道。

Conforti說，其中一位店主開始與這位女士談話，這位女士在碰到嬰兒時明顯地「暈頭轉向」，看上去「非常難過」。

他們問她是否可以幫助她，她說：「是的，我想買槍。」

到那時，Conforti意識到即使是惡作劇，他還是會謹慎一點。

他按照紐約警察局的指示撥打了911，並試圖在這位女士填寫文件以購買「小手槍」的過程中失速。

很快，波科諾山地區警察趕到，將母親和嬰兒帶到當地醫院進行評估。

如果不是因為Schack的快速思考以及州外槍支店老闆的幫助，情況可能不會那麼好。

「我希望警察能夠迅速到達那裡，並且每個人都可以安全。我聽到的第二次聲音（她在那裡）真是太棒了，」沙克說。

「奶奶感謝我，姐姐感謝我，他們說你們兩個過去了。大多數警察都不會這樣做。您所做的一切真是太神奇了。」

A postpartum-depressed Brooklyn mom was moments away from killing herself and her 6-month-old baby — but a gun shop owner in the Poconos and a quick-thinking NYPD cop worked together to save her. 

The 27-year-old mom — who lives in Pennsylvania but had been staying with family in Brooklyn — took her 6-month-old daughter out of a nearby daycare early on Friday and started sending disturbing text messages to her own mother, Latika Thorpe, and to her sister.

The woman, whose name is being withheld, said she 「Can』t go on like this any more,」 and planned to kill herself and her baby, police said of the text messages.

The desperate family members called the NYPD for help, explaining the new mom had been depressed after the birth of her daughter, wasn』t answering her phone and might be headed to home to Pennsylvania to kill herself and the baby, police said. 

Officer Michelle Schack and her partner Officer Gulrej Nandha rushed to the family』s Canarsie home.

 「Time was of the essence,」 Schack told reporters, recounting the savvy — and lucky — police work that would save both mother and baby.

「We gotta stop this woman somehow and she has a baby and herself to think about,」 Schack said of her thinking as Thorpe relayed her concerns.

「We were able to use our department cell phones to track the vehicle and we saw it was going over the Verrazano Bridge,」 Schack recounted.

Then Thorpe told her that was the route to the family』s Pennsylvania home. 

Schack made a mental list of options. She could trigger an Amber Alert with the New York State Police, and beyond that, hope someone would find them. 

But then Thorpe mentioned how easy it is to get a gun in Pennsylvania — and that』s when it all clicked for Schack. 

「That』s when I just started quick thinking, 『Let』s call gun shops. That』s most likely where she was heading to,」 Schack explained.

She asked Thorpe if there were any on the way to the family』s Poconos home. Thorpe wasn』t sure. But it turns out there was. 

Schack randomly found Pocono Mountain Firearms in Scotrun on Google and called the owner on a whim. She gave the owner a des**tion of the mom and baby in hopes they』d come in. And in hopes that local cops would be able to then stop the mom before she left the shop with a gun. 

「Within two minutes he called back and said 『They』re here』,」 Schack recounted of the shop owner. 

「I said you have to stall them.」 

The owner of the store, Michael Conforti, 50, told The Post that when the NYPD first called him, he wondered if it was a prank.

But then he hung up, and a woman matching the des**tion the NYPD gave, and driving the car the NYPD had described, suddenly showed up. 

「That』s when the red flags started popping up,」 Conforti explained.

One of the shopkeepers started talking to the woman, who was noticeably 「aloof」 when it came to the baby and looked 「very sad」, Conforti said.

They asked her if they could help her and she said: 「Yes, I』d like to buy a gun.」

By that point, Conforti realized even if it was a prank, he』d rather err on the side of caution.

He called 911 as the NYPD had instructed him and tried to stall the woman as she filled out the paperwork to purchase a 「small handgun.」

Soon enough, the Pocono Mountain Regional Police arrived and brought the mom and the baby to a local hospital for evaluation. 

If it wasn』t for Schack』s quick thinking, and the help of the out-of-state gun shop owner, things might not have turned out so well. 

「I was hoping the police were gonna get there quickly and everyone was gonna be safe. The second I heard [she was there] it was amazing,」 Schack said. 

「The grandma thanked me, the sister thanked me, they said you two went over and beyond. Most cops wouldn』t have done this. This was amazing what you did.」
