The New York Police Department (NYPD) has a history of protecting bystanders by shooting them. This March, when Brooklyn man Nathan Scott tried to shoot a mugger who had his wallet, the NYPD killed Scott and wounded an auto mechanic across the street. In 2013, after a man in a road rage incident made finger guns and reached for his pocket, the NYPD tased the man and shot two women nearby. In 2012, after a disgruntled ex-employee murdered his coworker outside the Empire State Building, the NYPD shot the murderer along with nine bystanders.

I can't find if the government employees were in uniform or not. Story is the perp jumped the turnstile and the government employees started following him. He flashed a knife and told them there would be trouble if they kept following him. Where they did a mag dump with a crowd of innocents down range. So sounds like they were in plain clothes. Remember undercover means a liar lying about who they are and what they are doing. Then the mensa member government employees let a bystander (that they surprisingly didn't shoot) pick up the knife and walk away from the scene. One story is it was a chef's knife, the perp worked as a cook. Others say it was a folding pocket knife.
