Teen who shot cop was loose thanks to judge’s slap on the wrist

The Yonkers cop who was shot in the face during an armed ambush Monday left the hospital to the cheers of fellow officers - as it emerged Tuesday that the teen who blasted her was free thanks to a Bronx judge's leniency. Kayla Maher, 26, a two-year veteran, rose from her wheelchair at the exit of Jacobi Medical Center at 4 p.m. and hugged several of her colleagues, including some who had been with her during the shootout Monday.
