NYPD Incidents: Fatal Shooting and Detective Injured

In Queens, NYPD officers fatally shot a 79-year-old man outside the 111th Precinct after he allegedly pointed a firearm at an officer. Despite attempts at de-escalation, the man did not comply with commands to lower his weapon, leading four officers to discharge their firearms. The man was pronounced dead at a local hospital, and a loaded gun was recovered from the scene. Separately, on the Lower East Side, an NYPD detective was shot and injured while executing a search warrant. The suspect, Edwin Rivera, fired at officers, hitting the detective who is expected to recover. Rivera, a parolee with a history of arrests, was also injured when police returned fire and has been taken into custody.
