NYPD shot and killed an armed teen in the South Bronx after
the suspect opened fire on the officers this morning, police sources said.
Two rookie cops responded to a call for shots fired around 3
a.m. and were fired upon, sources said.
The uniformed officers identified
themselves and returned fire, killing the suspect at East 151 Street and
Courtlandt Avenue, sources added.
The teen, 14, did not strike the officers, sources added.
The cops are fresh out of the police academy and were
assigned to the neighborhood as part of an Impact team patrolling the
high-crime area, sources said.
They were taken to Jacobi Hospital for ringing
in their ears. A weapon has been recovered.
