“...they still was banging, ‘Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop,’ it stopped then, ‘Bop, bop, bop.’”

Is that a different caliber than a “pew, pew, pew” gun?

The police that opened fire were in plain clothes.

How was the son who was killed supposed to know they were cops?

Anyone can yell "Police, drop the gun!"

My thoughts exactly: How were the two to know the people shooting at them were the cops if they were in plain clothes?

“Is dad still alive?”

Doesn’t sound like he got shot.

“Anyone can yell “Police, drop the gun!” “

That’s true. However, this was in response to him already shooting at people so, even if they weren’t the police but just some citizens telling him to drop the gun, best to do that. Most bad guys shoot first and don’t pretend to be the police.
Also, off-duty police carry their badge in their pocket & usually flash it.

The father knew, because right after the son was shot, the police started doing CPR. Then the father ran away and tried to ditch the gun.

The article is unclear if the son fired any shots before he was ordered to drop the gun by the police.

In New York City, anyone with a gun is considered shootable by the police.

It is New York City. There should be video, in high resolution, with audio.

I would like to see it.

“Two off-duty cops spotted the son, Mike Rosado, 24, shooting at a man on Valentine Ave. near 180th St. in Tremont just after 4 a.m., police said.”

Seems pretty clear
