Lieutenant Michael Pigott, who ordered the fatal Tasering of an emotionally disturbed person, killed himself this morning. WABC 7 reports
"Pigott reported to Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, where he took his
life shortly after 6 a.m." and another officer "sustained a non-life
threatening injury during the incident." Pigott had been stripped of
his gun and badge after the Tasering, where Iman Morales fell to his
death, and yesterday, the 21-year police force veteran had said he was "truly sorry for what happened."
