[From article]
The suspect first went into Booth Memorial Hospital complaining of chest pains and shortness of breath around 2:30 a.m, said Chief of Patrol James O’Neill.
The man was treated and released, only to return a short while later, when he menaced staff with a utility knife and demanded syringes, O’Neill said.
Cops were called and a sergeant walked up to the suspect, identified as Joseph Priolo, officials said.
Priolo turned away from the sergeant before being confronted by two uniformed officers, who were coming down a hill toward him, the patrol chief added.
“He brandished the utility knife, and one of the two officers fired twice,” O’Neill explained.
