Officer Fatally Shoots Bronx Man Holding Mom In A Headlock With A Knife To Her Throat!

An Officer kills a man with a single gunshot as the unhinged suspect holds his mother in a chokehold while screaming that he had a knife inside a Bronx apartment last December. Police officer Alex Morgese fired a single shot at suspect Michael Dotel, striking him in the head just inches from the victim’s face during the tense confrontation on Dec. 23, according to the footage and police. The 30-year-old suspect fell backward to the floor and was later pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Hospital. Police were initially called to the scene in the Bedford Park neighborhood around 11:30 a.m. on a 911 call of a perp who might have been on drugs, was acting violently, and armed with a knife, authorities said. Police said on Friday that Dotel held the victim in a chokehold with his right arm around her neck and his left hand applying more pressure to his right arm.
