Three officers shot, suspect killed in New York City

7-28-2014 New York:

NEW YORK - Three law enforcements officers were wounded during a shootout with a sexual assault suspect Monday afternoon in Manhattan, reports CBS New York. The suspect was also injured and has since died.

Two U.S. marshals and a member of the NYPD's fugitive task force were shot in New York City's West Village neighborhood around 1 p.m., according to the station. All three officers were taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment and are in stable condition.

The station reports the suspect, Charles Mozdir, was shot during the altercation and later died. Mozdir was being sought for alleged sexual assault of a 7-year-old boy and possession of child pornography from June 2012.

The U.S. Marshals Service said the gunfire erupted as a fugitive apprehension task force was trying to arrest the suspect at a smoke shop in the city, according to CBS New York.

After day-long search, suspected rapist Charlie Christopher 'Chris' Bates shot to death in shootout

9-6-2013 Florida:

Suspected rapist Charlie Christopher 'Chris' Bates was shot and killed in a shootout with law enforcement officers Friday afternoon, after several agencies went door-to-door in a day-long search for him.

The hunt for Bates, 24, ended dramatically, shortly after he was spotted driving near Greco High School in Temple Terrace. Officers attempted to stop him near U.S. 301 at Harney Road and Temple Terrace Hwy., but he fired a gun through the back window at the officers.

They continued pursuit south on U.S. 301 and an officer sped up to perform what they called a PIT maneuver, or bump him from behind. Bates lost control of the car on the second collision, and ended up in a ditch just south of Interstate 4.

Officers closed in, including Tampa Police, Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies, and the U.S. Marshals task force. The suspect began shooting through the windshield at no less than seven officers, who protected themselves with ballistic shields.

Officers returned fire, wounding the suspect, and they were able to remove the suspect from the vehicle.

The suspect died at 1:21 after receiving medical care.

No officers were injured in the exchange.

Bates was on the run after a series of home invasions near USF late Thursday night and early Friday morning. Officials said Bates fired shots, raped four women, and forced some 20 people at a birthday party into a bedroom.
