A man with a significant mental health history armed with a realistic-looking BB gun was fatally shot by an off-duty police officer outside a popular Staten Island diner on Friday night, according to sources and the NYPD.
Bullets flew just after 8 p.m. at the well-known Andrew’s Diner on Hylan Boulevard in Eltingville, according to the NYPD.
Diners alerted cops that a man with a gun was menacing the eatery, according to sources.
The gun-wielding man — whom sources identified as Jesse Campbell, 44 — then had a confrontation with two off-duty NYPD officers outside the diner, during which he pointed the supposed weapon at them, according to sources.
