Overview 
Trooper Miguel Holguin responded to a report of a man armed with two weapons on a street in Irvington on Oct. 3, 2013.
As Holguin and other troopers approached Dawud Alexander, 24, of Irvington, the man began running.
Alexander dropped a stun gun as he ran, but then pointed a handgun at the troopers, police said.
