The driver apparently fled a traffic stop before crashing, firing two shots at the officers, and fleeing again before leading cops on a foot pursuit through backyards.
A vehicle drove off the Henry Hudson Parkway and landed on the Amtrak tracks below, killing the driver and a passenger.
"As they were stepping out, the individual fired twice from his vehicle, one through the window, hitting the hood of the car," Ryder said."If that's two inches higher, it goes and strikes my officer who is crouched right between that door." Police say he again tried to fire at officers, but his gun was empty. He then fled on foot, stopping along the way to hold his gun to his head in what Ryder called an attempt at so-called suicide by cop, but that the officers were restrained and instead continue the pursuit.
