It all adds up now.
Nathan Scott, 20, is seen chasing a couple down the street holding a 9 mm handgun around 5:55 p.m., with shots ringing out as they run for their lives near Remsen Avenue and East 57th Street.
That’s when cops are seen pulling up in a silver unmarked sedan, which comes to a screeching halt as at least four officers jump out and open fire, striking Scott with a barrage of bullets after he points a gun at them.
...
A 60-year-old innocent bystander was hit by stray bullets in the shootout but it is unclear if the shots came from Scott or the police officers.
...
Law enforcement sources said Scott had apparently just been mugged by 19-year-old Jeremiah Adams — the man seen high-tailing it down the street with an unidentified woman when cops pulled up.
...
Sources said Adams confessed to cops that he robbed Scott — who he said chased him and the woman for several blocks — and still had his wallet on him after the shooting.
He has not immediately been charged with robbing Scott.
Adams and the woman were not injured. It isn’t clear if the woman was involved in the dispute that sparked the shooting.
However, Adams was busted in an unrelated case after being identified as the suspect in a March 7 armed robbery in Brownsville, according to sources.
