In hail of bullets, cops kill armed man in Point Breeze

A man stalking through the streets of Point Breeze yesterday with a large-caliber pistol in his hand was shot to death by police.

Cops said officers shot the unidentified 30-year-old man multiple times at about 6:15 p.m. when he allegedly pointed the weapon at one of them.

So many shots were fired in the deadly confrontation that crime-lab investigators had to use hand-written markers to locate each spent shell.

More than 107 placards marked the trail of spent police ammunition along Tasker Street between Baily and Taney streets, police said.

The gunman did not fire, police said. He was pronounced dead at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

Two cops were treated at HUP and released after suffering minor injuries caused by friendly fire.
