The teen killed after pointing a loaded weapon at cops in East Flatbush Saturday was struck seven times, according to the Medical Examiner’s Office.
Kimani Gray, 16, died from multiple gunshot wounds after the fatal shooting on East 52nd Street, around 11:30 p.m., an autopsy revealed.
Two plain-clothes anti-crime cops got out of an unmarked car and tried to approach Gray who began fiddling with his waistband, police said. The teen turned and pointed a .38 caliber revolver before the two cops fired a total of eleven rounds, police sources said.
A 30-year-old sergeant with eight years on the job shot four times, a source confirmed. A 26-year-old officer who has five years on the job fired seven times, the source added.
“He was facing them when he pointed the gun,” the police source said.
Cops fired from the front and the teen was hit twice in the right thigh. He spun around to get hit in the back of the each thigh, once on the left forearm, once in the lower rib cage and once in the left shoulder, another police source explained.
At least three bullets and one fragment were recovered, officials said.
Family members told the press the teen did not have a gun. Then they said that even if he did, he had too much common sense to point it at police.
Gray, whose pictures show him sporting beads worn by Bloods members, was arrested on almost a dozen charges since turning 16 last year. His arrests include grand and petit larceny, possession of stolen property and inciting a riot.
Police recovered a weapon and said several bullets were missing. It’s not believed that Gray fired on cops.
After a vigil for Gray, protesters rioted, ransacked local stores, attacked a 51-year-old man and hurled several objects at police while shouting about racism.
The sergeant who shot Gray is black and the officer is Hispanic, the Post learned yesterday. The sergeant was involved in another shooting in 2011 in which he returned fire on a suspect who had shot and wounded another cop. Both the injured cop and the suspect in that shooting survived, sources said.
