A 14-year-old boy has been shot dead by police in the Bronx after the teenager refused to drop his gun and pointed it at officers.
Shaaliver Douse died of a single gunshot wound to his jaw after the confrontation, the New York Police Department said.
Two officers with the NYPD were on foot patrol when they heard gunfire at around 3am on Sunday.
The officers responded to the scene and found the boy with a 9mm handgun firing at a fleeing man.
The officers identified themselves as police and ordered him to drop his weapon.
When he pointed his gun at them, one of the officers shot him, police said.
The teenager was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two officers had joined the department in January, according to police sources.
Douse had been in trouble with the law before, the NYPD said.
He was charged in May with attempted murder after a 15-year-old boy was shot in a Bronx neighbourhood where Douse lived.
That shooting took place two miles from where Douse was himself shot dead.
