A fugitive pedophile opened fire on officers in a Greenwich Village smoke shop Monday, wounding an NYPD detective and two US marshals before they shot him dead.

 

Authorities tracked down Charles Mozdir — who has been on the lam since 2012 — to the West Fourth Street store after his girlfriend dropped the dime on him, sources told The Post.

 

The woman saw a segment about the child molester on the John Walsh’s TV show “The Hunt’’ on Sunday night — and was so disgusted that she contacted authorities and gave them his cellphone number, they said.

 

Investigators narrowed down the phone’s “pings’’ to the heart of the tony neighborhood, and a member of the New York New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force spotted Mozdir on Monday afternoon.

 

The 32-year-old creep was working behind the counter of the bong-peddling Smoking Culture NYC store at 177 W. Fourth St. around 1:10 p.m. when the officers rushed in to nab him.

 

But the tattooed pervert — who had grown long hair and a beard to disguise himself — pulled out his .32-caliber revolver and shot at them, cops said.

I really respect those US Marshalls. They go after the worst of the worst every day. Glad it looks like they will be ok. Those smoke shops in the village have always been very sketchy.
