Police in New York City fired upon two men Saturday evening, killing each in separate incidents where top officials allege the suspects brandished a firearm and shot at officers.
Unfolding within hours of each other, officers attempting arrests in Queens and Brooklyn exchanged gunfire that took the lives of a man who threated city and state officials and another that fled a traffic stop, law enforcement officials claim. The deadly gun battle in Queens occurred first, around 6:30 p.m., when NYPD officials said officers responded to a residence on 116th Avenue in St. Albans to check on a 911 caller who made numerous threats, and warned he'd"blow the head off of the first police officers that he saw," Chief of Patrol Jeffrey Maddrey said late Saturday at a media briefing.
A team of officers responding to back-to-back 911 calls from the man were approaching his residence when the man emerged and began shouting at the cops, Maddrey said. The man, not yet identified by officials, allegedly swore at the officers and ignored commands to remove his hands from his pockets and raise them in the air.
