A man has been shot to death by a police officer in New York City for the second time in three days.
Police say the latest shooting happened Thursday during a traffic stop in the Bronx.
Authorities say a man who’d been pulled over for not wearing a seat belt tried to drive off when officers said there was a warrant for his arrest.
Chief of Department Terence Monahan says an officer had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit.
He says a sergeant used a stun gun, then fired his handgun. A passenger was not hurt.
It’s the third shooting this week by New York officers.
On Tuesday, police fatally shot an armed man in Brooklyn. Hours later, officers wounded a man on a subway platform.

“Authorities say a man who’d been pulled over for not wearing a seat belt”
The donut eaters were not allowed to pull him over. An officer can not pull a driver over in NY just for a seatbelt infraction. But then again, the donut eaters don’t have to follow the law or protocol. Another senseless murder by New York’s finest.
“A man has been shot to death by a police officer in New York City for the second time in three days.”
Nebach, killed twice by cops. Bad luck. And bad writing.
why is this article leaning in the direction that the NYPD did something wrong?
They are doing there job.
“On Tuesday, police fatally shot an armed man in Brooklyn” GOOD
If the driver almost ran over another cop and they shot him, GOOD
They want to go home at night just like we do, NYPD is doing a good job and they shouldnt be scared to use force when needed,
