A wanted "armed and dangerous" suspect from Massachusetts has been shot and killed in New York City following a confrontation with U.S. Marshals early Friday, according to multiple law enforcement sources.
Deputies were in the Wakefield section of the Bronx searching for Andre Sterling, a man wanted for shooting a Massachusetts state trooper in the hand during a traffic stop last month, sources said. Gunfire was exchanged between the suspect and the Marshals around 5:30 a.m., leaving Sterling dead and three deputies hurt.
The injured U.S. Marshals appeared to be in stable condition, a third source said. One was shot in the arm and the other two were shot in the leg.
Authorities in Cape Cod, where the state trooper was shot, said 35-year-old Sterling was armed and dangerous. He was wanted on charges of armed assault with intent to murder, possession of a firearm and assault and battery for the shooting of Trooper John Lennon, NBC Boston reported.
Lennon was shot in his right hand during a traffic stop in Hyannis on Nov. 20. Police say the bullet went through the 28-year-old's hand and struck his bulletproof vest near his shoulder.

Ruhroh! 😷 Christmas is coming. Has China joe commented about merely wounding these alleged criminals?
Well, bye!
Well, he tried.
He just wounded the cops and then they killed him. Didn’t he get credit for just wounding? He’s black. It was a racially motivated killing by cops, for sure
