Police fatally shot a man who threatened his mother with a screwdriver and wouldn't drop it as he struggled with officers in a New York City home, a police official said Saturday. Monahan said preliminary information gathered in the hours after the shooting indicates the uniformed officers struggled with the man and freed his mother after he refused orders to drop the screwdriver. Monahan said that as the scuffle continued, officers shot the man after a stun gun missed and he continued to wield the tool. Monahan said two officers fired, each hitting the man once. On Jan. 6, police said officers shot and wounded a man who drew a gun on them in Staten Island.
