If the late hero cop Steven McDonald “doesn’t make it to heaven, nobody will,” former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said Tuesday
McDonald was working an undercover patrol in Central Park, investigating a rash of bicycle robberies, when he chased down three suspects near the iconic boathouse on July 12, 1986.
One of the youths turned away from McDonald, pulled out a “Saturday night special” revolver and blasted the plainclothes cop with three .22-caliber rounds.
One bullet hit McDonald in the left side of his neck, shattering into fragments that lodged in his spinal column.
Shooter,was,15 yrs old
Steven was left a quadriplegic, unable to breathe on his own,
but publicly forgave the teen eight months after the shooting from his bed at Bellevue Hospital. During the years, He kept in contact about him and his mother in Harlem NY .
McDonald’s first assignment when he went back to work in January 1988 was giving a lecture to a new group of Emergency Service officers.
“I still have 17 years to go before retirement,” he joked at the time.
A third-generation cop, McDonald returned on active duty following his devastating injury, serving as a goodwill ambassador for the NYPD who attended events, gave speeches and counseled troubled kids.
He traveled to war-torn regions including the Middle East, Northern Ireland and Bosnia, and met with the late Pope John Paul II and Nelson Mandela.
He made trips to Northern Ireland in the cause of reconciliation between Catholics and Protestants, accompanied by the Rev. Mychal F. Judge, the chaplain of the New York City Fire Department. Father Judge was killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center when debris rained down on him while he was ministering to victims.
McDonald was also the first person in wheelchair to march in Our St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and in 1991 threatened a boycott unless organizers let other people with disabilities also join the procession.
