NYC Cops Take Down Masked Gunman In Ensuing Shootout
September 2, 2019
New York City police say a man was killed in a shootout with officers in Brooklyn.
At a news conference, NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan said that three officers in a patrol car early Monday saw a masked man, who fled when they tried to speak to him.
The masked man fired “numerous rounds” at the pursuing police car and then exchanged gunfire with one officer who had exited the car beforehand. The man fled, but police received a report 30 minutes later about a man trying to break into a nearby backyard on Howard Avenue.
