NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (WIVB) — Niagara Falls police fatally shot a man they say was armed with a weapon Thursday night on Niagara Avenue. Around 9:35 p.m., police responded to the 900 block of the street after a woman called about a man who fired a shot into her car. Police say the two were familiar with one another. The first two officers who responded to the scene encountered the woman, who officials say was pointing at a 53-year-old Niagara Falls man, saying he had a gun. After receiving numerous commands to drop the weapon, police say he raised his revolver and shot in the direction of the officers, striking a police vehicle.
