NYPD cop shot, suspect killed in Lower East Side gunfight
By KERRY BURKE and ELIZABETH KEOGH
An NYPD officer was shot and a suspect was killed Thursday as police attempted to arrest a sex offender wanted for shooting a man earlier this year, police said.With a warrant in hand, cops arrived at an apartment Kent Edwards, 43, was known to “couch surf” at on Eldridge St. near Stanton St. around 11:45 a.m., NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said at a news briefing.
Two women inside the apartment told officers with the Manhattan Violent Felony Squad that Edwards was inside a bathroom with a gun, Kenny said.
“There was one police car there and the guy was waving a gun out the window,” said Diana Aldahondo, who lived across the street. “He was waving it and [police] screamed, ‘Gun!’”
Aldahondo, 64, described a chaotic scene once cops spotted a gun as panicked people ran and “an invasion of cops” swarmed to the building.
Officers on the scene called for the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit to respond, and they spent nearly three hours working to coax Edwards out of the apartment.
“Body armor, shields, everything,” Aldahondo said of the elite specialized police unit. “They tried to talk him out, they really tried, but they did what they had to do.”

Armed food truck owner shoots knife-wielding man menacing motorists: cops
The shooting unfolded shortly before the New England town’s Christmas tree lighting and parade
By Emma Colton Fox News
A Maine food truck owner said he shot and injured a man in self-defense after the man wielded a knife at motorists and threatened to kill people ahead of a holiday parade in the New England town.“You always anticipate dealing with danger in a certain way, but you never know how you will react or how it would play out until you actually live it. It all happened so fast but in slow motion at the same time,” Addy’s food truck owner David Poto told Fox News Digital of the incident that unfolded on Dec. 1.
Poto and his family were setting up their food truck business in Sanford in the late afternoon on Dec. 1, ahead of the town’s Christmas tree lighting event and “Holly Daze” parade, when Poto spotted the man.
Poto said he witnessed the unidentified man wielding a knife at motorists and threatening to kill them. He initially confronted the man without showing him he was holding a concealed firearm behind his leg, Poto told the Portsmouth Herald.
Poto told local media that he got the man’s attention while he stood near traffic, leading the man to allegedly respond: “I’m going to kill you” and “I’m going to stab you.”
Poto explained his wife was standing near their food truck, as the couple’s four young daughters watched a Christmas movie inside the vehicle.
“I didn’t want to escalate anything,” Poto said. “But I knew the danger was coming toward us. Worst-case scenario, I was prepared.”

Thanks again Gun Bunny.
In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

This is a couple towns over the border from me. You don’t associate our area with stuff like this, but it’s a reminder it can happen anywhere. Be prepared.
Nutjobs gonna nutjob…and when they fornicate about…they WILL discover. “Worse case scenario, I was prepared.” Testify, Good Sir…Testify!
Tox are we using “knife” as a general category or will will break it down into sub cats as in “knife, sheaf”, sword, machete, ect?
Just as in FDR’s time, thus everything we’re seeing to today done by the despots is planned. Prepare
Anyone else feel the love that our Beloved AW1Ed has for The Gun Bunny? THE epitome of gun pr0n. “…should have a calibre not less than .45.” “…; the latest, the most deadly, the finest and the best hand arm…” “…fanfare of the M1911 shows no sign of abating.” All Hail HMS JMB (HBHN). ALL HAIL!!
Mercy sake’s what a good looking frame and chassis all clad in black. Smooth lines, gentle curves, something one could wrap their grips around. I’m blue that I don’t have one just like it. Oh…and the rifle’s not bad either.
“sub cats as in “knife, sheaf”, sword, machete, ect?”
Shank, blade, razor…..
Unless it’s called out in the article, and something unusual like a “kriss”, I’ll keep it KISS and just lump them all under “knife”.
The “knife to a gun fight” has become so regular, I’m not going to add this one to the T2NB2AGF encyclopedia set, it would fill two volumes all by itself.

One less sex offender in the world. Sounds like a good day’s work to me.
One pedo that can be permanently removed from the sex offender registry. There’s one therapy that works.
I believe Mr. Rittenhouse still has the one-day record with the “Kenosha Hat Trick”.
This just in… Gen Z whines about how much the Army is awful– low pay, crummy food and, OMG, they have to take a PT tedt and pass (Noooo!) which just mortifies ’em:

P.S. Plus all these wienies are doing this in uniform and on TikTok (with the usual reversed video image).
I’d re-enlist just to break their little kool-aid pumping hearts with creative corrective training while their Article 15’s and possible courts martial are pending. God I love Article 134!
This here made me laugh my *ss off… suck it up snowflake (appropriate for a spoiled younger generation who wants a four-day workweek from home or it’s a human rights violation):
Imagine being so threatened by the standard of running 2 miles in 18 freaking minutes that you go online to complain about it.
You know what the military does, right?
Bonus of 1 point for this round: capital A for Army.
Negative 1 demerit for not doing the same for ‘Soldier’.
You get a zero, cuz you is.
Grow up.
You presented yourself as “adult” and “willing” when you signed up. Now grow the fuck up and do your fucking MOS.
Oh and these must the toughest Gen Z folk, too– many of ’em suffer from “menu anxiety” (can’t handle going out and ordering off the menu with an actual waiter, not online):
