NYPD cops shot and killed a 79-year-old Long Island man who was wielding a gun outside a police station in Queens Tuesday night, according to law enforcement sources.
The elderly man was killed around 5 p.m. after he walked toward the 111th Precinct in Bayside with a gun, sources said.
The suspect has not been identified and more information was not immediately available.
The NYPD is expected to hold a press conference around 9:30 p.m.
The fatal shooting comes after a violent ex-con injured an NYPD officer in an exchange of gunfire during a four-hour standoff Tuesday morning on the Lower East Side.
The suspect in that case, identified as 34-year-old Edwin Rivera, was also shot and wounded during the tense scene at Vladeck Houses complex just before 5 a.m., police said.
