Authorities say an upstate New York sheriff’s deputy shot to death two teenagers who were in a vehicle that he thought was about to run him over.
“He had nowhere to flee to. This whole thing happens in seconds,” Shelley said.
The vehicle was later found on a Syracuse street, more than a mile away, with two people inside. One was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was pronounced dead at a local hospital, according to state Attorney General’s office, which investigates deaths at the hand of police officers. A third person believed to have been in the vehicle when the teens were shot was still at large, Shelley said. The second vehicle that had been at the scene drove off and had not been found as of Wednesday afternoon. Both vehicles had been reported stolen.Speaking at a news conference, Shelley did not detail how firing a weapon helped the deputy escape being struck. But he said he had reviewed the video of the shooting several times and felt the deputy had “no options.
