A 79-year-old man was shot and killed by police outside the 111 Precinct in Bayside, Queens, on Tuesday night. The incident occurred just before 7 p.m. when the man exited a car near the precinct and was approached by a uniformed officer. The man displayed a firearm and pointed it at the officer. Despite verbal commands to drop the weapon from the officer and additional officers who arrived at the scene, the man did not comply. Four officers then fired at the man multiple times. A loaded Cobra 38 special firearm was recovered, but the man did not fire a shot.
Officers administered CPR, and the man was transported to New York Presbyterian Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The man was from Great Neck, Long Island, not from the city. The four officers involved sustained minor injuries. The investigation is still ongoing, and the cause of the confrontation remains unclear.
