A judge Monday ordered the NYPD to turn over the racial breakdown of all people shot at by police officers between 1997 and 2006.
The New York Civil Liberties Union sued the NYPD in 2008 for racial data about shooting victims.
The NYPD agreed to release the racial breakdown of those injured by police gunfire, but not data about those who were shot at but not hit.
In an opinion dated Dec. 15, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Joan Madden ruled the NYPD had not met its burden under the state's Freedom of Information Law to withhold the data.
