How they died
Deadly force
A male and female uniformed NYPD housing police officers were struck in the head with a metal police baton during a scuffle with a man inside a housing development. The officers were responding to a 911 call about a suspicious man in the Van Dyke housing development. They encountered the man in a ninth floor hallway. The officers approached the man, asking for identification, and a scuffle ensued. The male officer took out his baton, but the suspect got a hold of it, and repeatedly hit both officers. The male officer suffered a two-inch gash. The officers shot the man several times, killing him.
