Police canvassed the area after getting reports 20 minutes earlier of a man with a gun near E. 107th St. and Madison Ave., and then spotted the suspect on Madison Ave. between E. 96th and E. 95th St., according to authorities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt was a 20-year-old man,\u201d a police source said. \u201cHe shot first at one of our officers,\u201d who returned fire, striking him, the source said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The suspect was taken to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mountsinai.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mount Sinai Hospital;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mount Sinai Hospital<\/a> in critical condition, and later died, according to multiple police sources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI saw it. It was a scuffle over by the bus stop,\u201d said witness Layla Helou, 26. \u201cThere were police officers telling someone to stop. He pulled out a gun and started shooting. It was a close range sort of thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt was about nine gunshots,\u201d said Malay Greshwell, 24, who works nearby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI saw him lying on the ground. He was on his side. He was bleeding. He was leaking. It looked like he was shot in the head,\u201d Greshwell said of the gruesome scene. \u201cThe cops were looking at him to see where he was wounded before they put him on a stretcher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI was petrified. I\u2019ve never seen anything like this before,\u201d added Greshwell, who lives in the Bronx.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI pulled my son by his shirt, and we sat down behind a big wall and waited it out,\u201d said bystander Jonathan Trichter. \u201cIt happened so fast.

It was gunshots, six gunshots. We took cover.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A gun was recovered at the scene, police said.
