Nassau County prosecutors are questioning either a late NYPD sergeant who asserted himself into an active crime stage triggered a friendly-fire genocide of a maestro Long Island cop.
Retired Sgt. John Cafarella headed to a Massapequa Park home Saturday night after Nassau County and MTA cops responded to calls about knife-wielding Satanist Anthony DiGeronimo.
A Nassau County military source pronounced Cafarella, a Massapequa Park resident, afterwards began “barking orders, even yet he had no purpose or business being there.” Long Island cops eventually shot DiGeronimo to death, though Cafarella remained on a passed man’s front lawn.
Some 10 mins later, Geoffrey Breitkopf, an on-duty Nassau County plainclothes cop, arrived with his partner in an unmarked car. He and his partner are members of a Nassau police’s special operations bureau. Breitkopf walked adult to DiGeronimo’s home with his M-4 purloin indicating down, and associate Nassau cops famous him and spoke to him, sources said.
But Cafarella speckled Breitkopf and yelled, “Gun! He’s got a gun!,” sources said. MTA Officer Glen Gentile dismissed one turn during Breitkopf, murdering him. “The doubt is, what was someone who is late doing in a center of not only a crime scene, though one where military only shot and killed a suspect?” another source asked. “Everything after that indicate is only tragedy.”
An NYPD source pronounced Cafarella was pushing home, saw military initial confront DiGeronimo and afterwards follow a think into his home. “He stayed as a witness,” an NYPD source said.
