"The clash sparked off when cops responded to a report of someone violating an order of protection at E. 86th St. near Avenue B in Canarsie about 9:15 a.m., the sources said. Police encountered the 28-year-old gunman when they got there and he ran off, the sources said. One officer opened fire, hitting the man in the chest on Coventry Road, sources said. Police performed CPR on the man and first responders took him to Kings County Hospital, where he died, the sources said."
"A witness, who asked to be identified only as "Ria," heard an officer yell, "Drop the weapon!" one time "and then we heard a bang.... like, immediately after." "And then I came outside... and the body was just lying on the ground," she added. "It was a while before an ambulance came." She said a group of officers performed CPR, then moved the gunman into a police van before the ambulance arrived."
