Teenager Shot by Police After iPod Robbery
By MICHELLE O'DONNELL and WILLIAM K. RASHBAUM
October 26, 2005
A Brooklyn teenager matching the description of someone who had just
committed an armed robbery was in stable condition last night after
being shot twice by two police lieutenants, the police said.

The teenager, who the police identified as Javaughn Higgins, 16, was
taken to Kings County Hospital Center with bullet wounds in his left
leg and his cheek, the police said. He was shot after displaying
what looked like a handgun, the official said. An imitation gun was
later found in a flower box at 557 Carlton Avenue, near the shooting
scene.
The official said that Mr. Higgins had the iPod and that the victim,
who officers took to the scene shortly after the shooting,
identified him as one of the robbers.
[snip]
The lieutenant running after Mr. Higgins fired 15 shots. It was not
clear last night if Mr. Higgins was struck by any of them.
The lieutenant in the car then ran after Mr. Higgins, who was
backtracking and running west on Dean Street. That officer shot at
Mr. Higgins seven times before tackling him at Carlton Avenue and
Dean Street, the official said.

From this I think one can learn two things:
1) KEEP YOUR PAWS OFF OUR IPODS!
2) THOSE TWO NYC POLICE LIEUTENANTS SHOULD NOT CARRY GUNS.
Gotta wonder where those other 20 bullets went...
