NYPD releases bodycam footage of deadly NYC police shooting

The NYPD has released bodycam footage of a January officer-involved shooting in Manhattan in which a man killed another man before being fatally shot by police. It happened around 3:40 a.m. on January 9 at Avenue A and East 7th Street, near the southwest corner of Tompkins Square Park. The NYPD says two uniformed officers were on patrol in the park when they heard gunshots and saw one man shooting at another. The officers gave numerous commands for the shooter to get onto the ground, and when he refused, they fired three times, fatally wounding the gunman.
