Jennifer Lackard, a deputy police commissioner for safety with the Mount Vernon Police Department in Westchester County, is accused of driving a getaway car for her son after he allegedly opened fire during a gang-related shooting attempt in the Bronx. Multiple outlets report that Lackard was arrested at her home on Tuesday and charged in connection with the incident, alongside her son, Chase Lackard, 20. The alleged shooting reportedly occurs near a Bronx court, where authorities say her son fired at rival gang members and then fled in a vehicle that Lackard drove. Fox News and other reports describe the allegation as her speeding away with her son after the shooting. The Guardian and Washington Times also report that Mount Vernon terminated Lackard shortly after the arrest. The Guardian states the city fired her and cited conduct “unrelated to her duties.” The New York Post adds that she was immediately fired following the allegations. The case is described by authorities and media as an attempted murder investigation, and the reports indicate the charges and firing occur while the underlying incident remains under investigation.
