Police shoot, kill teen in New York

Two New York City officers in plainclothes shot and killed a teenager in Brooklyn after the boy pointed a handgun at the officers, police said. The officers were patrolling in a car at 11:30 p.m. Saturday when they saw Kimani Gray, 16, separate himself from a group of people and adjust his waistband, The New York Times said. Officers then got out of the car to question the teen, and Gray pointed a revolver at the officers, The Times said. The two officers fired and hit Gray, who was later pronounced dead. Gray did not fire his gun, police said, but it was loaded. It is not clear whether the officers identified themselves as police before shooting, or how many shots were fired, the Times said. The shooting came on the same day that officers shot a man on Staten Island after a traffic stop, the Times reported. The incident occurred around 1:15 p.m. when two detectives in plainclothes approached a stopped car, the Times said. The driver, Clinton James, 33, then accelerated his vehicle and pinned one of the officers against another car. The second officer shot James, who is now in stable condition, The Times said.
