"Three in the afternoon on a Sunday in a Subway station and a cop escalates to lethal force over fare evasion, shooting a couple of bystanders, and another cop. Place your bets on which bits of this story—notably the tasering and “you’re going to have to shoot me”—will fall apart and at what speed."

    "The shooting occurred just after 3 p.m. at the Sutter Avenue stop on the border of East New York and Brownsville.
    Two officers saw a man enter the station without paying and followed him up the stairs, said Chief Jeffrey B. Maddrey at a news conference on Sunday evening.
    "The officers are asking him to take his hands out of his pockets,"
    Chief Maddrey said. "They become aware that he has a knife in his pocket. The male basically challenges the officers: 'No, you're going to have to shoot me."
    A Manhattan-bound L train entered the station, and the man darted inside an open door. The two officers followed and fired their Tasers, but neither device was effective in subduing the man, Chief Maddrey said.
    The man returned to the platform. "He's advancing on one of the officers with his knife," and both officers fired their handguns, Chief Maddrey said. The man went down, and the fallout of the shooting quickly revealed itself. One officer and two bystanders had also been struck.
