The incident occurred on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn around 4 p.m., the New York Police Department told Fox News. An NYPD Highway Patrol officer initially pulled over a Jeep Cherokee traveling east on the freeway for speeding, NYPD Chief of Department Rodney Harrison told reporters Thursday night.
When the officer approached the vehicle, the driver, who was the sole occupant, sped away, he said
"The officer followed the car and positioned her unmarked car in front of his vehicle," Harrison said.
The driver rear-ended the officer's vehicle and continued to flee, he said. Another NYPD highway unit pulled the vehicle over a short time later.
The driver got out of the Jeep reached into the back seat to grab a firearm, authorities said. He then "advanced toward the officers with a gun," Harrison said.
The officers got out of their vehicle and gave "numerous" commands for him to drop the gun, he said.
When he failed to comply and continued to move forward with his weapon at an "up and down" movement, the officers opened fire and he was struck multiple times. He was taken to a hospital where he later died.

Good news story of the day.
Sounds like sucide by cop
If this were to be described by the prosecuting attorney in the Rittenhouse trial, “Those police offices wanted to and intended to shoot some one.”
I like a happy ending.
Not knowing the back story on this driver it’s difficult to say, but I think by his actions you are correct.
I look forward to seeing this on Armed Self Protection on YouTube, in a few months.
Suicide by cop.
This is why police should not pull over speeders. /s
“Suicide by cop.”
I knew to check before commenting and there you were, good show!
He can’t be Black or it would be the first word in the headline.
