Police shoot machete-wielding man DEAD in front of shocked tourists near Times Square after firing at least TEN times

Police shot and killed a man they say lunged at them with a machete in a confrontation that began in Times Square and drew officers and spectators on a chase that ended with shots fired near one of New York's most heavily touristed areas. The encounter played out Saturday around 3 p.m., when officers approached a 30-year-old man they say appeared to be smoking marijuana near West 44th Street and Seventh Avenue, in the heart of Times Square. The man became agitated, pulled out an 11-inch knife and began to put a bandanna on his head, police said. He refused repeated orders to drop the weapon and began backing down the avenue, continuing for a number of blocks and drawing many officers into a slow-speed pursuit that took them south of Times Square.
