New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani embarrassingly botched the spelling of the veteran NYPD officer who was shot in the back this weekend \u2014 despite announcing he had just visited the father-of-three in the hospital.<\/p>\n

Hizzoner misspelled Detective Robert Karroll\u2019s last name three times in a social media post, wrongly spelling the veteran officer\u2019s name as \u201cCarroll.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly this morning in Crown Heights, Detective Robert Carroll was shot in the line of duty. I visited Detective Carroll at the hospital today, and I\u2019m grateful his bulletproof vest protected him from more serious injury. I\u2019m keeping him and his loved ones in my thoughts as he recovers,\u201d Mamdani posted on X Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thankful to Detective Carroll and every member of the NYPD working to keep New Yorkers safe through a busy holiday weekend,\u201d Mamdani added.<\/p>\n

Mamdani, who has previously called for defunding the police, recently blindsided the department and city lawmakers with an 11th-hour move to ax some 600 planned new officer hires.<\/p>\n

Just weeks earlier, Mamdani had announced that he\u2019d hire 580 more officers \u2014 which angered democratic socialist\u2019s allies because it broke a campaign promise to freeze the NYPD\u2019s headcount at 35,000 cops.<\/p>\n

The cut came as the already stretched-thin force faces a massive summer workload, with officers working 12-hour shifts due to World Cup tourism, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce\u2019s wedding, and the Independence Day holiday.<\/p>\n

Karroll, a married dad of three who was due to retire in just 10 days, was shot in the back early Sunday morning by an 18-year-old gunman while he and other officers were sitting in an unmarked police car in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Karroll was shot in the upper back, but was wearing his ballistic vest and miraculously suffered only minor injuries, police said. The suspect fled on foot but was quickly nabbed several blocks away after a dramatic foot chase.<\/p>\n
