Cops shoot 23-year-old murderous crime spree suspect in New York

A man suspected of slashing a woman in the face, fatally stabbing a store owner, and setting a homeless man on fire has been shot and wounded by police in New York City, authorities said.

The attacks began in Queens, when a 39-year-old woman was slashed. Three hours later, a 55-year-old liquor-store owner was stabbed to death, and a 61-year-old homeless man was set afire.

Two hours later, police received a report of a burglary in progress. Two officers caught up to the suspect in the backyard of a home.
