Two US marshals shot, fugitive killed in Bronx gunfight.

NEW YORK (AP) — A suspect in the shooting of a state trooper in Massachusetts has been killed during a shootout with U.S. marshals in New York City that left two of the officers wounded. Federal law enforcement officials say the two marshals were expected to recover after the 5:30 a.m. confrontation in the Bronx. The officials say 35-year-old Andre Sterling was killed in the shootout. He had been wanted for shooting a Massachusetts trooper in the hand on Nov. 20 during a traffic stop in Hyannis. Federal officials say one deputy with the regional fugitive task force was hit in the leg and another was struck in his arm and leg.
