1. I read police were approaching a suspect for homicide then they holed up in the grocery after

shooting police who were trying to arrest the suspects on the street and people were killed in the store as they engaged with police in a long shootout for over an hour
Terrifying , you innocently go down to shop at the bodega, and you are dead



“I can hear the gunshots. It's like firecrackers going off," said Andy Patel, who works at a liquor store about three blocks from the scene.

"They were shooting like crazy about an hour ago. Then it stopped for like 20 or 30 minutes. The cops were clearing everyone off the streets

3. Thanks for this information.

I was wondering how it started. Awful for the deceased police and innocent bystanders.

6. I mean were they hanging out near a store with assault rifles or what?
