Detective In 50-Shot Killing Of NYC Man Is Fired

An undercover police detective who fired the first bullets in a 50-shot barrage that killed an unarmed New York City man as he left his bachelor party has been fired and three other officers involved in the slaying will resign, store ending a disciplinary process that dragged on for nearly 5½ years.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly made the decision to push the four officers out Friday, four months after a department administrative trial judge concluded that detective Gescard Isnora acted improperly in the 2006 killing of the would-be groom, Sean Bell.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Friday that “there was nothing in the record to warrant overturning the decision.”-[source]
