NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City police say an officer has shot a man who confronted
officers with a loaded handgun, and the man is in critical condition.
The man's identity was not immediately released. He was taken to Lincoln Hospital after the shooting shortly before 4 a.m. Saturday in the South Bronx. Police say officers were chasing the 47-year-old man when they spotted his loaded .380-caliber handgun. Police say the man ran back toward the officers, and one of them shot him in the torso, left arm and right hand. Police say the man's handgun was recovered at the scene. It wasn't immediately clear why police initially began chasing him. One of the officers fired three shots, hitting the suspect in the chest, left arm and right hand, police said. Paramedics took him to Lincoln Hospital, where he was in critical condition. Police recovered the Lorcin .380 handgun and said it was loaded. The anti-crime cops - two police officers and a lieutenant - noticed the man walking on Home St. about 3:45 a.m. Saturday. "It look[ed] like he's shuffling around with his waistband," said a police source. When they approached him, he ducked behind two parked cars before fleeing toward Intervale Ave., police said. Two cops chased him while the lieutenant followed in the unmarked police car. The suspect, clutching the handgun, reversed course, circled toward the cop car, and then tried to change direction again - only to come face to face with the two officers, police said. The cops, who had their shields out, ordered the man to stop, sources said. When he didn't, the officer opened fire. The gunman, who did not shoot, ran a few feet before collapsing. Police said the officers, who were not injured, passed sobriety tests. |

"It wasn't immediately clear why police initially began chasing him."
" Police say officers were chasing the 47-year-old man when they spotted his loaded .380-caliber handgun. " Maybe if this idiot that wrote this article read his own words it would become immediately clear why they began chasing him....... what the article should have read it is not immediately clear why these hero police officer would risk there life's chasing a thug with a gun in a city were no one appreciates there heroism ...... I am glad the good guys are going home to there family and I hope the perp gets a infection at lincoln..... |

Exactly! The article should say " It's clear the perp ran from the Police because he was on his way to do murder and didn't want to
get caught" "Thanks to the heroic and proactive efforts of the Officers, lives were saved." " We will follow this case in the event the
perp lives to see to it that the Judicial system brings justice to the perp and denies him bail".
"What is so correct about politicts, that has everybody wanting to be politically correct?"

Armed Man Shot and Wounded by Police in Bronx-NYT | #6 | ||

A man armed with a loaded pistol and running in the direction of two plainclothes police officers was shot by one of the officers early Saturday on a dark street in the Bronx, the police said. The officer fired three shots at the man, whom officials identified as Jesus Roldan, hitting him in the torso, left arm and right hand. Mr. Roldan, who the police said was 48, was taken to Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center, where he was listed in critical condition. A loaded .380-caliber Lorcin pistol was recovered at the scene, the police said. "As with all incidents in which someone is shot by the police, it is subject to a review" by the Police Department's Firearms Discharge Review Board, said Paul J. Browne, the department's chief spokesman. The police said the officer who fired his weapon took a sobriety test, which is standard after such encounters, and passed. The officer joined the force in January 2005, according to the police, who declined to identify him. The confrontation unfolded about 3:45 a.m. as the two officers and their lieutenant, who were on an anticrime detail, were driving an unmarked sedan near East 169th Street and Intervale Avenue in Morrisania, the police said. As they turned west onto Home Street, they spotted a man, later identified as Mr. Roldan, who they believed had something in his waistband. The two officers got out of the car with their shields displayed around their necks, and Mr. Roldan ducked behind a parked car in front of 888 Home Street, the police said. Mr. Roldan then ran east on Home Street toward the intersection of East 169th Street and Intervale Avenue, the police said, and the officers saw that he was carrying a gun. The two officers followed Mr. Roldan on foot, and the lieutenant took the wheel of the sedan and began to make a U-turn. But before Mr. Roldan got to the intersection, he looped around and began running in the opposite direction, the police said. After a few yards, he turned again, and ran in the direction of the officers, the police said. The officers ordered him - more than once - to drop the weapon, and when he did not, one of the officers opened fire, the police said. The police said that a woman who lives on the street told investigators she heard the officers yell, "Police! Drop the gun! Drop the gun!" It was not clear how far the officers were from Mr. Roldan when the shooting occurred, the police said. Officials said Mr. Roldan had an extensive arrest record, including eight arrests since 1985. Among the charges he previously faced were robbery, assault, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a controlled substance, the police said. The disposition of those charges was not immediately clear. |
