Dramatic E. Harlem shoot-out captured on video - New York Post - YouTube


A dramatic shootout in Harlem, NY ended when a retired NYPD Lieutenant turned hedge fund driver sprang into action and opened fire on a robber who had started firing at two female officers responding to the scene.

Rudolph Wyatt, 23 and known by his street name “Booga,” was in the process of holding up a drug store and demanding money and the pain killers OxyContin and Percocet. At the time of the robbery, several customers were in the store, including a baby in a stroller. An alert manager hit the panic button, which summoned two female officers in a patrol car and a male officer on foot. When the cops arrived, they were able to coax one suspect (who has since escaped) out. That’s when Wyatt came out gun blazing. And that’s when retired Lt. Thomas Barnes took action.

It is always good news when the only person(or people) killed in a shootout like this are the criminals. I feel no sympathy at all for this punk, and the world IS a better place without him on it.

A civilian gassing his car at a gas station in East Harlem captures the moment when retired NYPD Lieutenant Thomas Barnes shot and killed Rudolph Wyatt after a botched pharmacy robbery. Wyatt was shot once in the cheek and once in the base of the skull after opening fire at NYPD officers who were approaching the pharmacy. Wyatt, a Bloods gang member with a lengthy rap sheet, was pronounced dead at the scene while his accomplice is still at large.
