"Patrolman Golden was accidentally shot and
killed by his partner while struggling with
a burglary suspect. The officers had responded
to a burglary alarm at a diner on Northern
Boulevard in Queens. When the officers
arrived, they encountered a suspect. The
suspect began to struggle with Patrolman Golden.
Notes: Patrolman Golden's partner fired at the
suspect, but struck Patrolman Golden. He was
transported to St. John's Hospital where he
succumbed to his wound. The suspect was
arrested in a short time later. Patrolman
Golden was assigned to the Hunters Point
Station (modern day 108th Precinct). He was
survived by his wife."
