New York police have defended their actions after a bystander was shot in the head as two officers tackled a fare-evader armed with a knife in a busy subway station.
The man was in critical condition after the shooting at Sutter Avenue L station in Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon. Three others, including the suspect, were wounded.
Wish framing were different. Not “innocent bystander”, but a more specific version of “father of 3 on way home from a long day of work”, or whatever.
