A 65-year-old man fatally shot an apparent armed robber, 32, in Queens early Wednesday, authorities said. 

The younger man displayed an “unknown object” as he approached the older pedestrian around 2 a.m. on 82nd Avenue near Queens Boulevard in Kew Gardens, in what investigators believe may have been a robbery attempt, cops said. 

The 65-year-old then pulled out a gun and shot the other man multiple times in the chest, police said. 

The gravely wounded man was pronounced dead at the scene by responding EMS workers, cops said.

His name was not immediately released, pending family notification. 

The gunman was taken into custody for questioning, authorities said.

It’s a game.

Victim, victim, who be the victim?

Let me take a guess, it won’t be the shooter but the dead perp.

The “gunman”? How about the “victim”?

the article said..”investigators believe may have been a robbery”

So just ask the young man what his intentions were ...
ooops ...never mind.
Well at least there is still one witness to tell us what happened.

Kew Gardens? If Kitty Genovese had a gun, she’d be alive today.

The 65-year-old needs to be in a non-extradition treaty nation by Wednesday evening, or he'll die in a New York Gulag.

The 65-year-old probably doesn’t have to worry about retirement plans now. It’ll all be taken care of.

Sounds like the citizens of NYC need to hire themselves a sheriff.

Self defense is no longer legal in NYC. They are going to look over every detail of this incident in hopes of finding something that will allow them to file charges against him.

Unless this guy was a retired cop or something chances are he didn’t have a permit for that handgun and they will try and get him on that.

the very last line of the article:

a gun was recovered at the scene

it must have hurt to write that line

I wonder - if when it comes to a perp, cops and EMTs will begin to slow walk things: “Scene’s not safe.”

No, that’s bad. Poor Tyre Nichols was a perp in Mwmphis.
