What the heck happened here? This video didn’t have an article with it… or did I miss it? I’m trying to understand what happened here. The guy pulls into a coned off space and then the cops pull up and just start shooting the guy in the car? Why?

This is the story… Originally the cop said the kid got out of the car and lunged at him.

Police initially said that the officers attempted to get Irizarry to pull over [for driving erratically] , but that he fled in his Toyota Corolla. The officers followed Irizarry south until he stopped on East Willard Street, they said, adding that he stepped out with a knife.

Police said the officers gave “multiple commands” for him to drop the weapon, but Irizarry “lunged” at the officers. Dial, a five-year veteran of the force, then shot Irizarry multiple times, police said.
