November 26, 2006 -- "A Queens bachelor party turned into a bloodbath early yesterday when five cops opened fire on a car with 50 shots - killing the groom-to-be, wounding his two friends and leaving furious relatives demanding answers from the NYPD.
The 4 a.m. shooting in Jamaica happened just after the trio had left a strip club called the Kalua Restaurant and Lounge, where Sean Bell, 23, celebrated his last night as a single man, police said.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said an undercover officer, part of a seven-cop unit conducting surveillance on the troubled nightspot, followed the men from Kalua after overhearing a fight in which Bell had said, "Let's f- him up."
Kelly said the undercover cop then heard Bell's pal Joseph Guzman shout, "Yo, go get my gun!"
Moments later, a second undercover cop confronted the three men as they got into their Nissan Altima on Liverpool Street. The Altima pulled forward and hit the cop, then continued and crashed into an unmarked police minivan that had just turned the corner from 94th Avenue.
The Altima then backed up, jumped the curb, hit the rolled-down gate of a building, went forward and clipped the minivan a second time."
Thank the heavens this creature was prevented from procreating yet again. 9 mm rounds through glass means many, many of them can be needed to stop an intended target. Yes, one well-placed bullet will kill, but a quick stop is another matter. And please now, who wouldn't have wanted at least a 40-cal?
