Four people were shot and killed after a dramatic chase and train hijacking in New York City on Sunday.
New York City Police Detective Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle shot and killed the assassin, Pierre Jeantot, 36, of Nice, France late that afternoon after he murdered four people in an attempt to kill Doyle himself.
Jeanot was allegedly working on behalf of a French drug kingpin whom Doyle and his partner, Buddy “Cloudy” Russo had been investigating.
Jeanot was sent after Doyle as a sniper in an effort to alleviate police presence in a a heroin exchange between France, Turkey, and the United States.
Doyle was working undercover in the Narcotics division, dressed in casual street clothes as he walked, patrolling the New York City streets at the time of the first gun shot.
Innocent people were everywhere, a child on a tricycle wheeled by before 63-year-old Betty B. Badluck of the Bronx took a bullet in the back and was shot dead.
Three shots were sounded. Doyle rolled to the ground and retrieved his gun while screaming at the pedestrians to leave the woman who had been shot alone.
