Dramatic video footage captured the moment police gunned down a shooter who targeted a couple in Brooklyn Monday evening.
A man and a woman are seen running away from the shooter at Remsen Avenue and East 57th Street just as cops pull up to the scene in an unmarked car.
A group of officers then descended in the direction of the sidewalk, where at least one officer appeared to open fire and strike the perpetrator, the video showed.

The two people he was chasing were not injured.
Police also released an image of the gun recovered from the scene.
The officers involved in the incident were taken to the hospital for observation.
A 60-year-old man was also shot on a nearby block, though police said it was unclear how that incident occurred.
He is expected to survive his injuries.
Once again tonight, you see New York City police officers running towards danger, running in the middle of gunfire, stopping the threat and saving two peoples lives, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said at a press conference near the scene Monday.
