The deadly encounter took place in Jamaica, on Jamaica Ave. near 160th St., when the man attacked four cops, police sources said. He swung a hatchet at the officers, hitting two of them, one of whom was dealt a severe head wound. Two cops then shot the man dead. A female bystander was hit in the back and was initially listed in critical condition but was expected to survive.
A man armed with a hatchet who attacked a group of cops on a Queens street, critically injuring one of them, was shot dead by the officers on Thursday afternoon, and a female bystander was hit by an errant round.
The attack took place about 2 p.m. in the heart of Jamaica's shopping district, and NYPD investigators, police sources say, have not ruled out the possibility the culprit sought to commit an act of terrorism.

Who are you going to believe about Islam?
The talking heads on MSNBC or the guy who studies the Koran 60 hours a week for the last thirty years?

waiting for the hero of Benghazi to issue a statement without using the words islamic or terrorist. Well, if he does issue a statement, it will be filled with words like "I" and "me".

Just try hitting a moving target who is swinging a hatchet at you from arms length Of course you're right. This is not the time to find fault with those cops, or to make jokes for that matter.
