How they died
Deadly force
Patrolman James Simone, aka "Supercop," shot and killed an unarmed bank robber, Robert Hackworth, 35, " the fifth suspect Simone had killed, and the 12th suspect shot, during his nearly 40-year police career. Simone was off-duty when he entered a bank on Fulton Road and a teller told him she had just been robbed. He chased Hackworth, who fled in a stolen truck. A passer-by gave Simone a ride and they gave chase. Hackworth crashed into a utility pole at West 52nd Street. Simone confronted him and shot him after he said Hackworth reached into the truck. No gun was recovered from the victim or the truck.
