Summary: Patrolman Vincent Zichettella was shot and killed as he attempted to arrest a man who tried to hold up a retail shop.

Patrolman Zichettella was on patrol duty, in Manhattan, when he was informed that a man was attempted to hold up a store on West 34th Street.

He was forced to exit that cab when it got stuck in heavy traffic. When he tried to flee again, Patrolman Zichettella, began to overtake him. The suspect then turned, which a .32 caliber revolver in his hand and fired one shot, striking Patrolman Zichettella in the face, killing him.
