Cops in the Bronx fatally shot a man who had opened fire on them in the wee hours of yesterday morning. 31-year-old Oswaldo Sevilla had just gone out for a soda according to his roommate when police began receiving reports from neighbors in Longview that he had been firing a gun while walking on Southern Boulevard around 2:30 a.m. Two officers approached Sevilla while a crowd was gathered and he began walking away from them, clearly brandishing a weapon. As cops told him to drop it, Sevilla fired at them. They ducked behind a van just as two more officers were arriving on the scene. Both teams of officers shot back at Sevilla; witnesses claimed to hear over 30 shots total. As the cops undergo a routine inquiry by an internal shooting review board, one police source told the News, "This is as clean as it gets." Sevilla was a construction worker in Mott Haven who emigrated from Mexico as a teenager. A friend of his told the Times, “Something must have happened to him. That doesn’t sound like the man I know.” more ›
