Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York September 8, 1987 (In re John C.)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Brown, J.

On this appeal we are asked to determine whether the Family Court properly applied the Miranda rule’s "public safety” exception (see, New York v Quarles, 467 US 649, 653; Miranda v Arizona, 384 US 436) in denying the appellant’s motion to suppress certain statements made to the arresting officer concerning the location of the gun used in the underlying incident.
