The parents of a teenager shot and killed by police earlier this year are expected to file a notice of claim Wednesday, informing the city that they intend to file a wrongful-death lawsuit that alleges cops used excessive force in the shooting that killed their son, The Daily News reports.

Family lawyer Kenneth Montgomery says he can prove that police officers left 16-year-old Kimani Gray to die in East Flatbush on March 9.

Gray was left on the pavement and received no medical attention for 15 minutes, Montgomery told The News.

Two plainclothes police officers shot Gray after the teen pointed a .38-caliber handgun at them, according to police. He was hit by seven bullets. Gray’s death set off a series of riots and protests in the neighborhood in the days following the shooting.

The city’s Law Department declined to comment because it has not seen the notice of claim.

A man died after shots were fired on Thursday in a terminal at Houston airport, police said.

There were no other injuries or suspects involved in the shooting at Houston Intercontinental Airport, Houston Police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said.

Police said the armed man was shot near a ticket counter outside the security perimeter.

Victor Senties, another Houston Police Department spokesman said the man was taken to a hospital. It was not clear when he died or if he had shot himself.

The incident at Terminal B of the George Bush Intercontinental Airport sparked a security lockdown and a grounding of flights in Houston by the FAA. A U.S. government official later said the situation had been contained.

Police did not disclose further details on the shooting.

UPDATE: Police said Friday that the suspect was struck one time in the right hand, not in the left hand and buttock as they reported earlier.

Cops said they arrested Shaquille Reid, 20, and charged him with criminal possession of a weapon and menacing.

Metro’s original story is below:

A 20-year-old man was shot by two plainclothes police officers in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn on Thursday evening after he fired at them, cops said.

A police detective and officer from Brooklyn South Narcotics were performing a buy-and-bust operation near 298 Grafton St. around 6 p.m. when they saw the suspect pull out a gun. The officers got out of an unmarked car and began to approach the suspect, who then began firing his Colt .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun at them.

Civilian witnesses heard the cops say “stop” and “get down,” according to the NYPD.

The officers returned fire, striking the suspect in the left hand and buttock, according to police. The suspect was taken to Brookdale Hospital and is in stable condition. Charges against him are pending and the investigation is ongoing.

Protests in East Flatbush last week stemming from the shooting of 16-year-old Kimani Gray by police officers on March 9 grew steadily calmer as the week wore on, after an explosion of violence on Wednesday night resulted in 45 arrests and one police officer injured.

City Councilman Jumaane Williams, who had come under fire for comments made accusing “outsiders” of inciting unprepared teens to violence, was able to direct a fair number of the protesters on Friday night into a nearby church for a community discussion, though a group did split off to march on to the police precinct, where someone eventually threw a bottle at police before the crowd dispersed.

Reports of a successful Youth Empowerment Seminar on Saturday preceded another night of protests. This time, on-scene reports indicated police vastly outnumbered protesters by a factor of nearly three-to-one.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg last week said he was not going to go out to East Flatbush because he didn’t want to “inflame things” but that he had “reached out to clergy and officials.”

He said he was planning on calling the mother of the deceased boy, but as of Sunday had still not made the call.

The mayor’s office did not respond to inquiries as to when the mayor was planning to call Mrs. Gray.

Conflicting reports of her son’s involvement in gangs have piled up, from Mrs. Gray herself telling WNYC she doesn’t think her son would ever carry a gun, but wasn’t sure, to reports from the NY Post of Facebook photos where Kimani Gray is making gang signs with his hands or videos in which he taunts a “young rival Crip.”

Experts on city gangs dismissed the Facebook and YouTube activity as amateur, and indications that Kimani’s gang involvement would have been extremely low-level; while teachers and neighbors spoke of a young man who “acted tough” but was serious about becoming an accountant and moving his family into a better neighborhood.

The principal at Kimani’s school in Manhattan said they “believed in his potential from the day he entered [the] school.”

“He traveled over an hour each day from East Flatbush… The year and a half we had with Kimani allowed us to get to know his best self,” Urban Assembly School of Design and Construction principal Matt Willoughby said.

Hit hard by loss of brother

Gray’s mother also talked about the effect her eldest son’s death two years ago had on Kimani: the older boy had apparently been a father figure to his younger sibling, and instrumental in keeping him in school and off the streets.

After his death, Kimani started staying out late because, he told her, he had nothing to come home to.

At the same time, the Grays had been displaced from their home and were reportedly living five-to-one-room in her brother’s apartment. They had finally moved into a new home a few days before Gray was shot by police. His mother said when she showed him the keys to the new house, he was so excited he “jumped as high as to the ceiling and said, ‘yes, we’re finally out of here!’”

The officers involved

The cops who shot Gray were identified last week as Sergeant Mourad Mourad and Officer Jovaniel Cordova.

According to NY1, one officer was involved in two prior lawsuits for alleged civil rights violations, and the other faced three similar lawsuits.

Some of those cases reportedly involved stop-and-frisk incidents, and city officials reportedly opted to pay settlements in all five cases.

City officials insisted that settlements do not indicate an acknowledgement of any wrong-doing, and that involvement in lawsuits do not necessarily indicate guilt.

A major stop-and-frisk lawsuit against the city commences Monday morning.

Community calls for experience and cultural sensitivity from police

Last week, members of the community suggested that a problem with the police force in the area is that they are often young and inexperienced: NYPD policy frequently places rookie cops in the worst areas of the city.

NYPD officials have previously said that the purpose of the Impact Program is to allow rookies to get important experience quickly.

In the case of the Kimani Gray shooting, Mourad was an 8-year veteran on the force, and Cordova had five years.

But community organizers maintained the point that more training is needed, and specific training, as repeated calls were made for cultural sensitivity by police officers when operating within the community.

A Brooklyn woman who said she witnessed the death of 16-year-old Kimani Gray from her apartment window claims that the teen did not have a gun in his hands, according to The Daily News. 

Gray was shot and killed by police this past weekend after he pointed a gun at two officers. A loaded weapon was recovered at the scene.

Tishana King said she looked out her third-floor apartment window on Saturday night when she heard loud talking and laughing. She then saw a burgundy sedan pull up and two police officers get out of the car. One of the officers then pulled out a gun and shot an unarmed Gray, King said.

“I’m certain he didn’t have anything in his hands,” King told The News. Detectives interviewed King for eight minutes after the shooting. When asked to describe what she saw in detail, the witness never mentioned seeing Gray with a gun, according to The News.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said that another witness said he heard one of the cops shout, “What do you have in your hands?” Police have also said that the officers, whose names have not been released, first reported that the teen had pulled a gun.

Gray’s death has left the neighborhood in East Flabush in unrest. A vigil held for the teen on Monday night turned into a riot, with a large group ransacking a local drug store.

A Bronx politician is pushing for a registry that would track criminals much as the state’s sex offender registry tracks offenders.

Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr., made the suggestion in his State of the Borough address yesterday.

“Law-abiding citizens ought to know who among us is responsible for gun violence,” Diaz said.

He proposed an online registry featuring criminals convicted of crimes involving a gun. They would have to update the police about where they live and work and stay on the registry for 10 years.

Criminals would also need to get their photograph taken every three years at a police agency.

Failure to do any of these would be a felony under his proposal.

Diaz said he would lobby state legislators starting this month to build the legislation.

He joins other New York politicians who have pushed for stiffer gun policies.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been an aggressive advocate for getting illegal guns of the streets.

In his State of the City this month, he urged people to contact their Congressional representatives to push for gun legislation. He credited attacking illegal guns with reducing crimes.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo also pushed for gun legislation that closes loopholes in New York’s state laws, already among some of the most stringent in the nation.

Troubled country star Mindy McCready has reportedly committed suicide at her home in Heber Springs, Ark.

Andrea Canning, a reporter with NBC Dateline, tweeted, “Just got a call from Mindy McCready’s best friend that she shot and killed herself this evening. My heart breaks for her two boys. RIP”

A source told E! news that neighbors heard gunshots at her house and called the police. “She shot herself and the dog,” the source said.

McCready, who sold over three million albums during her heyday in the 90s,  has now mainly been known for her personal troubles. A little over a month ago, her boyfriend, the record producer David Wilson, died from a gunshot wound; although his death was ruled a suicide, the investigation is still open. McCready’s two children, Zander, 6, and Zayne, 9-months-old, were then taken from the singer’s home by authorities.

McCready, who appeared on “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” in 2010 had attempted suicide twice before, in 2005 and 2008.

A Queens jury decided against indicting an NYPD detective who shot and killed an unarmed National Guardsman on the Grand Central Parkway last year, according to reports from the Daily News.

Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said in a statement that the grand jury met nine times over the course of a five-week investigation into the death on 22-year-old Noel Polanco and found no evidence of criminal wrong-doing by Detective Hassan Hamdy.

“While I understand that some would want me to provide the factual and legal basis for the grand jury’s decision, I am precluded from doing so by the statutory provisions regarding grand jury secrecy,” Brown said.

Brown said that his office “interviewed all witnesses to that which occurred and examined all available documentary evidence.”

The evidence was presented to the grand jury, which ultimately opted not to indict Hamdy.

Brown notes that the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau and Forensic Investigations Division, “especially its Crime Scene Unit,” cooperated and assisted with his office’s investigation.

Polanco was pulled over for erratic driving in the early hours of October 4. Hamdy fired a shot through the car window, missing a woman in the passenger seat and killing Polanco. Hamdy later said he thought Polanco was reaching for a gun.

No weapons were found in Polanco’s car, though there was a power drill on the floor near his seat.

After the shooting, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly called for the grand jury investigation himself.
