"Another
witness, Camille Johnson, told WPIX-TV Gray was fleeing the scene
when he was killed.
“He
was running for his life, telling the cops, ‘Stop,’” Johnson
said. “They really are, seriously, walking around, shooting little
kids.”
Another witness, who said she lives across the street from the scene of Gray’s death, said she saw him on the ground clutching his stomach
while two men stood over him.
“He
said, ‘Please don’t let me die,’” said the witness, who
identified herself using only her first name, Vanessa. She added that
one of the officers answered, “Stay down, or we’ll shoot you
again.”

Sixteen-year-old
boy shot, killed by police in Brooklyn
Police

fatally shot after reportedly pointing a gun at the plainclothes
officers. (Google Maps)

A
16-year-old boy was shot and killed by two plainclothes NYPD patrol
officers in East Flatbush last night after he pointed a gun at them,
cops said.
The
shooting occurred around 11:30 p.m. Saturday night. Two plainclothes
patrol officers in an unmarked car pulled up to “a group of males”
in front of 473 East 52 Street, and noticed one of the males,
apparently 16-years-old, break away from the group when he saw the
officers.
An
NYPD official said they do not know if the other males in the group
were teenagers as well.
Police
say the boy adjusted his waistband and “continued to act in a
suspicious manner,” so the two officers got out of their unmarked
car and attempted to talk to him.
Cops
said that is when the boy turned and pointed a .38 caliber revolver
at the officers. Both officers fired at the boy, cops said, “striking
him about the body.”
An
NYPD official said they do not know how many shots were fired at the
boy, and that the situation is under investigation.
The
boy was pronounced dead on arrival at Kings County Hospital. Police
said a loaded .38 caliber Rohm’s Industry revolver was recovered at
the scene.
The
officers were treated for trauma and tinnitus at Methodist Hospital
and are reportedly in stable condition.
This
was the second reported police-involved shooting on Saturday. The
other one, in Staten Island, was not fatal.
UPDATE:
Police have identified the deceased 16-year-old boy as Kimani Gray.
His family has been notified of his death, cops said.
