NYPD officers fatally shot an armed suspect in Inwood early Sunday, police reported.
According to Chief of Patrol Jeffrey Maddrey, members of the 34th Precinct’s Neighborhood Safety Team — the department’s anti-gun unit — were patrolling in an unmarked vehicle on Nagle Avenue and Dykman Street at approximately 3 a.m. when they came across a dispute in which a man was allegedly waving a firearm in a crowd of people.
With the 29-year-old gunman reportedly refusing to drop the weapon, Chief Maddrey revealed that all four members of the 34th Precinct fired their guns, striking the suspect multiple times in the body. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. While police did not name the man, they did report that he is known to them for prior crimes and was on parole.
Police recovered a handgun from the scene and also discovered another man who was grazed by a bullet, an injury Chief Maddrey says they are currently unaware of how it took place.
