NEW YORK — New York City police killed a man in Queens on Tuesday evening after he shot at officers — hitting one in the leg — who were responding to reports of armed robberies in the area, authorities said.Joseph Kenny, the New York Police Department’s chief of detectives, identified the suspect as Gary Worthy. He said Worthy, 57, was being sought in connection with two armed robberies of businesses in Queens.
A 26-year-old woman was also hit in the leg during the shootout but is expected to survive, Kenny said. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the handling of Worthy’s previous charges marked a failure of the city’s criminal justice system. The Democratic mayor made similar comments earlier this week after a man who also had prior criminal charges was arrested after a string of random stabbings killed three people in Manhattan.
