Off-duty NYPD officer fatally shoots man on Staten Island pointing fake gun
An off-duty New York Police Department officer fatally shot a man pointing a fake gun at the officer on Friday night on Staten Island, according to law enforcement. At about 8 p.m., a 911 call came in about a man with a gun at the back of a diner, Assistant Chief Melissa Eger, of the NYPD Patrol Borough of Staten Island, said during a news conference. An off-duty officer then spotted the same man with what appeared to be a firearm and told another off-duty officer, said Eger. They told the man to put the firearm down but instead he pointed it at the officers, said Eger, who added that surveillance video captured the events. One officer then fired at the man. The officers 'performed life-saving measures' and then the man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, she said. 'Our officers were confronted with a dangerous and unpredictable situation, and they attempted to de-escalate the situation multiple times,' she said. An imitation firearm was found at the scene, she said. The shooting is being investigated. She said the man has a criminal history, but the details were not immediately clear.

Iran policeman killed in clash in restive southeast
Gunmen in Iran's volatile southeast killed a police officer and wounded another in a shootout with security forces, news agencies reported Saturday. The clash occurred in Sistan-Baluchistan province, one of the country's poorest regions and the scene of frequent violence between the security forces and Baluch minority rebels, extremist groups and drug traffickers. 'In an exchange of fire... between Iranshahr police and armed men, one officer was wounded and another killed,' the Fars news agency said, citing the police. The ISNA news agency also reported the deadly gun battle. Sistan-Baluchistan is home to a large ethnic Baluch population. Fars said the assailants were wounded in the firefight, fled the scene and were being pursued by police. In recent years the extremist group Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice), based across the border in Pakistan, has claimed multiple attacks in the area. On Sunday, the group carried out an attack in Sistan-Baluchistan that killed a police officer, according to local media. On July 26, at least six people were killed in an attack claimed by Jaish al-Adl on a courthouse in the same province.
