Police shot and killed a man in Brooklyn early Sunday after he held up a bodega, then pointed what appeared to be a gun at officers.<\/p>\n

According to the NYPD, at about 12:40 a.m., a three person anti-crime unit consisting of one sergeant and two police officers responded to a 911 call of a gunpoint robbery in progress at the Garden Deli in Bushwick.<\/p>\n

The officers observed the suspect walking west on Starr Street and gave verbal commands.<\/p>\n

The suspect had a black firearm in his hand and raised it towards the officers, police say.<\/p>\n

The officers fired at the suspect and struck him multiple times.<\/p>\n
