An off-duty NYPD cop shot to death a 30-year-old man who pulled a gun on him on a Manhattan street, police said Monday.
The officer opened fire after being confronted by a man on a moped in Washington Heights who whipped out a gun about 9:45 p.m. Sunday, according to police.
The officer was standing outside a residential building near W. 173rd St. and Amsterdam Ave. when two men rode up on mopeds, cops said.
“One male got off the moped and asked the officer if he knew an individual’s name and then proceeded to display a firearm,” NYPD Deputy Chief Eric Pagan said at a press conference. “Once seeing the firearm, the off-duty officer drew his firearm, discharged multiple rounds, striking the male. The second male then fled the location on his moped.”
The gunman was rushed to Harlem Hos
