crime : crime : WERE NYC POLICE OUT OF LINE SHOOTING A MAN THE DAY BEFORE HIS WEDDING? [+] serious ballot by jappy ACTIVE Tue Nov 28, 06 - Sun Aug 23, 09 (11-26) 04:00 PST New York -- Hours before he was to be married, a man leaving his bachelor party at a strip club in Queens that was under police surveillance was shot and killed in a hail of police bullets early Saturday, witnesses and the police said. Two of his friends were wounded, one critically, they said. Witnesses told of chaos, screams and gunfire near the Kalua club just after 4 a.m. as the victims walked out, got into their car, drove half a block, turned a corner and struck a black unmarked police minivan bearing plainclothes officers. The car then backed up, nearly hitting an undercover officer, and shot forward, slamming again into the police van, the police said. The police response, witnesses said, was a fusillade of bullets by five of eight officers that riddled the victims' car and slammed through an apartment window near the shooting. Bell, who was to have been wed Saturday to Nicole Paultre, the mother of his two small daughters, was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The two wounded men, Joseph Guzman, 21, and Trent Benefield, 23, were taken to Mary Immaculate Hospital, where Guzman was listed in critical condition and Benefield in stable condition. Relatives of the slain man, Sean Bell, 23, and community leaders, including the Rev. Al Sharpton, demanded an investigation into what some called an overreaction by officers that killed a man on his wedding day. Do you believe this was an over reaction by the New York City police department, or were their actions justified as a response? The officers were out of line The response was completely justified The officers were protecting themselves but went overboard. Ballot #106019 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
