Here are two legitimate news stories about this incident. The first one contains a lot more details.

The robbery victims were three cops. They initially complied with the robber. As the situation deteriorated, two cops shot him.
The same man is a suspect in a robber that occurred nearby minutes earlier.
For trying to rob three able-bodied adult men, even if it was in a bad neighborhood after midnight, I nominate the deceased for a Darwin award, bronze level, with a notation for not being able to recognize narcotics officers.
