In some disturbing news, a Pace University football player was gun downed early Sunday morning by Mount Pleasant Police outside of a local Westchester bar. According to authorities, police were called to the scene after reports of unruly patrons were being reported and a brawl was brewing outside of Finnegan’s Grill in the Thomwood neighborhood of Mount Pleasant, NY.
After police officers arrived at the scene to dissipate the crowds, an officer approached 20-year old Danroy Henry’s vehicle which was parked in a fire lane. As the officer knocked on his window, Henry gunned the engine clipping the officer who ended up on the hood of his vehicle. Rather than stopping, Henry accelerated striking another police offer who was trying to grab the officer from Henry’s hood.

The officer clinging onto the hood had no other choice but to open fire at Henry to stop the moving vehicle. The vehicle finally came to a rest after it struck a parked police car. Unfortunately, Henry died at the scene and his passenger sustained a minor gunshot wound.
Henry was a junior studying business management and played wide receiver and defensive back for Pace. This season, he had 1 INT and 11 tackles. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Henry family and Pace University.
