The New York Post by STEFANIE COHEN - June 10, 2008
The alcoholic ex-cop who fatally shot a decorated Port Authority police officer in a road-rage incident on Staten Island two years ago pleaded guilty to manslaughter yesterday. Allen Lau, 48, will spend 21 years behind bars for firing at former Port Authority officer Steven Vitale, 55, in a parking lot as Vitale and his wife, Karen, walked into a restaurant.
Lau, who was wearing a ninja outfit, apparently tailgated the Vitales and waved a gun at them before both cars pulled into the parking lot and Lau opened fire, cops said. Lau fled to his house and drunkenly conversed with negotiators for several hours before surrendering.
