A Suffolk County deputy sheriff shot an accused fugitive in Queens yesterday morning as a federal task force was taking him into custody. Charles Mitchell, wanted on a felony drug warrant, was being escorted by two officers to a police car in Cambria Heights when he "appeared to tug at the waistband of his droopy pants," sources tell ABC7. Mitchell had not yet been handcuffed, and it's unclear if he was actually armed. According to the Post, the officer who fired the round into Mitchell's lower abdomen is a 13-year veteran of the Suffolk County Sheriff's office and assigned to the US Marshals Violent Felony Task Force. Paramedics took Mitchell, 28, to Jamaica Hospital, where he was in stable condition. (The Post's source says he had jumped parole and was wanted for an attempted murder.) A witness, 62-year-old Patricia Humphrey, tells the Daily News that "the kid had nothing but a McDonald's bag in his hand. The man who did it looked stunned, too."

Guess he was left holding the bag.

What does NYPD have to do with this story?
i blame the droopy pants.
If you're going to shoot someone who's restrained, at least shoot him in the leg. Belly wounds are the most painful from what i've heard.
"If you're going to shoot someone who's restrained, at least shoot him in the leg."
He wasn't yet restrained. And practically every police agency's shooting policy is to fire at center of mass, to lessen the likelihood of stray bullets hitting bystanders or other officers.
Oh come on, why can't it be like in the movies? ;)
Did the guy have one or two arms?

I remember the Pug Uglies quite well. It was just after the Civil War that they became a nuisance. Thank God the Bowery has been cleaned up.
