Authorities say panhandler fired first near Marriott Marquis hotel NEW YORK - A panhandler opened fire on police in busy Times Square on Thursday afternoon and was shot to death by an officer near the famed Marriott Marquis hotel, police said.
No one else was injured. The 25-year-old suspect was recognized by a plainclothes sergeant on a task force that monitors aggressive panhandling, and took off running through to the hotel's passenger drop-off area, chief NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said.
At some point, the man turned and opened fire on the officer, continued running, then turned and fired again, Browne said. The plainclothes officer returned fire, killing the suspect, Browne said.
