Police say a man in a stolen Porsche trying to evade law enforcement has been shot and killed by an officer in Brooklyn. NYPD Chief of Department John Chell says the 28-year-old was driving on the Belt Parkway just after 8 p.m. Tuesday when officers flagged the vehicle as “suspicious." Officers checked the plate and discovered it was stolen out of Pennsylvania. Chell says officers tried to pull it over. After it nearly hit an officer, an officer shot the driver. The driver was taken to a hospital, where he died. Chell says the driver was on federal probation for interstate transport of stolen vehicles from Pennsylvania.
