FDNY Lt. James Hayes enjoyed a joyful return home Saturday, a day after being shot by a desperate ex-con during a six-hour standoff on Staten Island.

Hayes had courageously rushed inside the basement apartment of Bloods gangster Garland Tyree, 38, after the parolee set off a smoke bomb — only to have Tyree shoot him in the buttocks and calf.
Tyree was shot dead by cops.
Law-enforcement sources described Tyree on Saturday as a leader of a ragtag Bloods subset consisting of gangbangers scraping by on small-scale crimes.
