Breaking Overnight: The NYPD says officers shot and killed a man who opened fire on them in Coney Island.
Detectives say two officers heard shots ring out in the area before they were approached by two women asking for help. They say the women were yelling that there was a man firing a gun up the block. Six officers were then called to the scene, where they found a man with a gun. They say he fell to the ground and continued shooting. He eventually stopped, and they placed him in handcuffs and started performing life-saving measures, but he died at the scene.
Police believe a domestic violence incident involving the two women who approached them led up to the shooting. The women, said to be victims, were brought in for questioning. It's unclear how many shots were fired by that man and how many were returned by officers. "They get out the car to approach the male. The male immediately starts shooting at the officers. The officers respond back by firing their weapons. The male goes down, and as he's on the ground he continues to fire at our officers," NYPD Chief of Dept. Jeffrey Maddrey said."Eventually, he stops. Our officers are able to close in on him. They subdue him, they handcuff him, and they start rending aid to the male.
