Action woman: Jennifer Lopez transformed into a bona fide action heroine as she filmed explosive new scenes for her upcoming crime drama, Shades Of Blue, in Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday

The late night shoot saw the American Idol judge come across a crime scene outside a grocery store.

Dressed in jeans, an oversized striped shirt, a beige trench coat and a pair of nude courts, she strutted through the graffiti-filled streets ready to confront an armed robber.

Jennifer put on a brave display as she whipped out a gun, hoping to stop the thief in his tracks.

The mother-of-two took no prisoners and managed to get one of the armed robbers to surrender while another, who was masked, tried to escape with a hostage.

The real drama kicked off when Jennifer - who plays feisty Detective Harlee McCord in the 13-episode series - shot the hostage.
