2 cops shot, man killed in Harlem gunfight after police arrive at 500-person barbecue

 

Angel Alvarez, 23, shot and killed Luis Soto, 22, of the Bronx, and then exchanged gunfire with five responding cops - touching off a shootout in which cops fired at least 40 rounds, police said.

 

Alvarez was shot 21 times but survived, his family said. Three other civilians were wounded in the shooting, but their role in the gunplay was not immediately clear.

 

Officer Michael Tedeschi, 36, whose vest deflected a bullet to the chest, was in stable condition at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, police said.
