An NYPD bigwig who’s in hot water after his gun discharged during a rowdy off-duty scuffle in Rockland County broke his silence Monday — asking the public not to rush to judgment. NYPD Assistant Chief Benjamin Gurley said the wild May 24 incident in the town of Haverstraw erupted over his daughter being repeatedly harassed by an unidentified man in a statement released by his lawyer Monday, in which he urged patience while an investigation plays out. “Chief Gurley is shocked by this incident, in which his daughter was repeatedly terrorized by an adult former schoolmate,” attorney Oliver Storch said in an email to The Post.
