A gun-toting convicted murderer on lifetime parole was shot early Saturday in Downtown Brooklyn when he refused police orders to drop his gun.
The 34-year-old was walking with a pal at Nassau and Bridge streets at about 1 a.m. when he spotted officers in an unmarked car and pulled a semiautomatic weapon, sources said.
The officers, responding to reports of a man in the area with a gun, approached the two men, prompting the convict to take off, police said.
While his pal quickly dropped to the ground in surrender, the criminal, who shot and killed a Queens teenager in 1996, ignored the officers’ orders to drop the gun and was shot in the lower torso.
A witness who gave his name as David caught the aftermath of the shooting on video and saw the parolee “moaning in pain, complaining that they shot him.”
“I heard the guy screaming, ‘You shot me in the heart!’ — and me and my wife started laughing,” David told The Post. “He yelled, ‘You shot me in the heart,’ and I thought, ‘You wouldn’t be talking if you were shot in the heart.’ ”
The parolee, whose name was not released, was rushed to Kings County Hospital in stable condition. Police recovered a semiautomatic gun from the scene. Charges are pending.
