The police were called Thursday at about 1:30 p.m. and arrived to find Feliz armed, when he fired two shots before jumping out of a bedroom window. After leading the police on a chase, reports say Feliz pointed a gun at three officers who then fired.  
No officers were shot or injured during the incident, but this incident occurs on the heels of a narcotics detective from Staten Island who was shot – the third officer to be shot while on duty in just 20 days.
