How they died

Deadly force

James and two accomplices robbed a 60-year-old cabdriver at gunpoint--netting $80--but were interrupted by an off-duty NYPD officer. The officer was shot in the chest, and the three escaped in a white Mustang. Although seriously wounded the officer gave chase. The Mustang crashed, the officer opened fire with one hand while applying pressure to his own wound with the other, fatally shot James, then flagged down an ambulance for himself.
