The NYPD says officers shot three suspects in three separate incidents Thursday across Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens. ZinniaDee_TV has more.
officers respond to a 911 call for a burglary at an apartment on Lewis Avenue off Hancock Street.
"A caller stated that his elderly uncle was inside and he believed someone was breaking into the home," NYPD Chief of Dept. Jeffrey Maddrey said Thursday. The chief of department said he reviewed the body-worn camera footage, which shows the officers knock at the apartment and the 78-year-old resident partially open the door with a gun in his hand.
"Our officers observe the firearm and start yelling, 'No!' and retreating. The male raises the firearm up and actually steps out the apartment with the firearm pointed at the officers," Maddrey said. In response, the officers shot the man six times. He was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
"There was some type of commotion in the hallway. I opened my door, and when I did, it sounded like there was a loud crashing," neighbor Ray Weiss told CBS2.
