Police explain wounding two bystanders in New York City

Police have offered a partial explanation for wounding two bystanders in New York City as they were trying to handle a suspect. The suspect was unstable and running through traffic. Officers accidentally hit two bystanders as they fired at the man.
 
New York City police have arrested the suspect and stated he would face several charges. The man identified as Glen Broadnax was trying to kill himself by running into traffic. As police officers chased after him, he continued to cause traffic problems. They also explained he made gestures that appeared to indicate he had a weapon. They responded by firing at him, but unfortunately two bystanders were hit in the Port Authority Bus Terminal area.
 
The controversial case has created many questions. Police officers accidentally hit two women who were taken to a hospital. In both cases, the women had minor injuries that were not life threatening. The women were simply in the same area as the suspect and are not related to him.Police officers have stated that Glen Broadnax made all the gestures of a person reaching for a weapon. However, he did not have a gun as they later discovered. He was finally stopped by an officer with a taser. He faces a long list of charges including resisting arrest.
 
Glen Broadnax has a long record with multiple arrests. He has been described as confused and deranged by some sources. The man has also been characterized as emotionally unstable. The incident began as he tried to run into traffic, and police tried to stop him. Witnesses state they heard someone yell he has a gun, and police fired several shots that hit two women who were standing. The chase continued, and no cars actually hit the suspect as he tried to run from police. Some witnesses wondered if he was on drugs because he did not appear to be behaving normally. Eventually, the man was stopped and arrested while the two women were taken to a local hospital.
 
New York City police plan to do a thorough investigation and will evaluate the use of the officers’ guns in this case. They will be questioning the women hit by the shots along with others. The two officers will also be evaluated, and their participation will be judged. This is not the first time that innocent bystanders have been hit, but New York City plans to handle the case with care.
