7Online.com: New York City and Tri-State News from WABC-TV[
Police shot and killed a suspected armed carjacker after he reportedly went on a rampage - stole a couple of cars and opened fire on several drivers.
Eyewitness News reporter Jeff Pegues has the latest from Crown Heights.

This suspect was one man crime spree. Witnesses say there were dozens of shots fired on the block.

Police sources say the suspect carjacked a silver Dodge Durango and then, drove away crashing it into a store at the corner of Troy and Pacific Streets.

"He lost control and he rammed into a store there," said eyewitness Johnny Manley. "And he jumped out of the car like he was kind of nervous."

From there, the suspect ran down Pacific Street. Police sources say he shot motorists in a car on the street attempting to carjack.

He kept on going until he carjacked a silver livery cab and then, he crashed the vehicle into a light pole at Albany and Park Place.

Witnesses tried to help him.

"We saw oil coming out, but he still doesn't respond. He continued to search on the bottom of the floor for whatever he was looking for," said eyewitness Kema Robinson. "That would be a pistol."

After more gun fire, police ordered the suspect to drop the gun, but the suspect fired back. Police shot the suspect after that.

Police say a gun recovered at the scene.

The suspect later died at Kings County Hospital.

The person shot by the suspect was transported to Kings County Hospital with non life threatening injuries.

Officials say the suspect may have been upset about an argument that he had with his girl friend.
