Officer Ivan Marcano became Detective Ivan Marcano during a bedside ceremony Friday morning honoring him for stopping an armed robber despite being shot in the chest.
Marcano was shot in the chest during a gun battle Wednesday night, after he confronted two men who were robbing a third man at gunpoint in the Morris Heights area of the Bronx.
Marcano was off-duty at the time and chased down the suspects after he was shot. He returned fire, killing Prince James, the 18-year-old who shot him. James' accomplice, 20-year-old Jason Leiva, turned himself in on Friday.
Marcano left the hospital on Friday, after doctors treated him for the wound. The bullet just missed his heart, reports the New York Daily News.

Great job on the good shoot and crime fighting! And thanks for carrying your handgun at all times like all LEOs should! We wear our vests on duty but we shouldn't ever have to wear them off-duty! That's impractical and unrealistic Deadman!

My congratulations to you, Detective ! I'm thrilled that you are ok and at the display of excellent police work and bravery coupled with great training. You are a credit to all LEO's everywhere. It's just sad that NYC & Bloomberg outlaw concealed carry because your concealed carry saved lives, including your own. Please try to get the message out to Bloomberg that concealed carry saves lives!
