Police Commissioner William Dwyer tells 7 Action News that officers tired to negotiate with the man, but the suspect set his apartment on fire -- then jumped out a back window with a gun in his hand. Dwyer says as the man landed, he engaged officers. The officers then shot and killed the suspect.

Police say no hostages were ever in danger.
