All right, Anna, an investigation is underway after NYPD officers shoot and kill a man also in Brooklyn in East Flatbush
That's why police say that they opened fire after chasing the suspect down, who then refused to drop his gun
Fox News, Stephanie Bertini has the story. Police say it all started with a 911 call about a domestic incident not too far from here
Officers say they then confronted a man who was armed with a weapon. After a chase, they say they were forced to shoot him
He died as a result. A police photo shows the firearm recovered at the scene
The NYPD says a woman called 911 this morning reporting a man who she had some kind of history with was outside her home
Officers responded and found a man who matched the description she had given when she called 911
He fled and officers followed him to the area of Coventry Road and East 86th Street here in East Flatbush
They say they repeatedly asked him to put down his weapon and he didn't
The man was shot by police. Officers say they tried to save his life by bringing him to a nearby hospital, but he died
We talked to people in the neighborhood about the incident now under investigation
Is it common to see this, like, around here? No. No, no, no, no, no
My neighborhood is a safe and quiet quiet We don see cops on our block Just heard the gunshot came out and just saw police activity
Have you lived in the area for a long time? Over 20 years. Are you surprised
Very surprised because this doesn't happen over here. When they encountered him, he had a firearm in his hand, in his hand, and they ordered him
He was ordered numerous times, multiple times, to drop that weapon. After repeated warnings were given to drop his weapon
and the subject did not comply with those orders, the subject was shot once in his chest
We immediately rendered aid to that subject and transported him by patrol car to Kings County Hospital
where he was subsequently pronounced deceased. A loaded revolver was recovered on the scene
Police say the exact relationship between the woman and the man is unknown, but under investigation
They do say that they had a history of domestic incidents, and the NYPD said the woman was in the process of getting an order of protection
The entire matter now under investigation. In Brooklyn, I'm Stephanie Bertini, Fox 5 News
