After the suspect, identified as Leopoldo Duartepalacios, took out the handgun, police say a uniformed officer shot him.
According to Poughkeepsie police: “Officers handcuffed the subject and began immediate first aid measures, including applying multiple department-issued tourniquets, as well as requesting an ambulance. The suspect was transported to a local hospital for treatment.”
