An off-duty school safety agent who grabbed a gun from a wounded New York City police officer during an attempted robbery will not be charged.
Eugene Pitts was cleared by the Brooklyn district attorney's office, reports the Daily News. Pitts was not licensed to carry a gun.

Police charged two men with attempted murder, robbery and aggravated assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Two other suspects remain at large.
