Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said yesterday that a preliminary investigation has indicated that a police officer was justified in shooting an off-duty colleague who was pointing a gun at another man. The determination came as the police arrested three men who they said attacked the off-duty officer, Eric Hernandez, inside a White Castle in the Bronx on Saturday, touching off the sequence of events that led to the shooting. Officer Hernandez was shot by another officer while he held his gun over a man who he may have believed was among those who had just beaten him.
