 The officers' injuries were not life-threatening, and they were in
stable condition, New York Police Commissioner William Bratton said
at a news conference.
The incident follows the fatal shooting of two uniformed officers in
Brooklyn as they sat in their squad car just days before Christmas
by a gunman who had made threats against police on social media.
In this week's shooting, police did not appear to have been
targeted. The officers were responding to a robbery at a deli in the
city's Bronx borough, police said.
The shooting comes amid controversy over whether New York police
have launched a deliberate work slowdown as part of the their
dissatisfaction with Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Some police say that de Blasio's support for protests over the
killings by white police of unarmed black men in New York and
Missouri showed a lack of respect.
 The head of the city's police union said that Monday's shooting was
evidence that there was no such slowdown.
"New York City police officers, who could have closed their lockers
and gone home after their shift ended, chose to respond to a robbery
in progress and, sadly, were shot in the process," said Patrick
Lynch, the president of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association.
Five officers who were just ending their shifts responded to the
robbery, Bratton said.
Officer Andrew Dossi, 30, and Officer Aliro Pellerano, 38, were shot
as they approached two masked suspects, he said.
The officers fired back, and one suspect was wounded in the arm,
according to Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce.

The suspects fled, and one of them carjacked a sports car that was
later abandoned.
One suspect, Jason Polanco, was arrested in the Bronx on Tuesday,
and the other, Joshua Kemp, was arrested when he sought hospital
treatment for a gunshot wound, Boyce said.
The two are believed responsible for other local commercial
robberies, Boyce said. One of them has made anti-government and
anti-police statements on Instagram, Boyce said.
Polanco faces charges of attempted murder of police officers along
with charges of robbery and carjacking. Kemp was charged with
commercial robbery, Boyce said.
Police lauded the officers for their response.
"They were going home, they jumped into a car and they ended up
getting into this fierce firefight," said NYPD Chief of Department
James O'Neill.
