ABQCOWBOY Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 http://nypost.com/2014/10/23/man-shot-dead-after-striking-cop-in-the-head-with-ax/ By Larry Celona, Reuven Fenton, Kirstan Conley and Laura Italiano October 23, 2014 | 3:31pm A hatchet-swinging psycho with Islamic militant leanings turned a busy Queens street corner into a scene of bloody chaos Thursday, chopping a rookie cop in the back of the head and slicing a second officer on the arm before two other officers shot him dead. In opening fire on the madman, cops accidentally wounded a bystander, authorities said. Officer Kenneth Healey, 25, had just four months on the job when Zale Thompson, 32, of Queens — a “scholarly” but “weird” recent convert to Islam — fractured the back of the cop’s skull with one swing of a blue-handled hatchet at about 2 p.m. in Jamaica.

Larry Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hoping that there were only the two casualties. (Counting the axe murderer). Edit: looks like only one dead, so far. I thought one of the cops was, too. Even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
