Gunman opens fire outside Empire State Buliding
« on: August 24, 2012, 08:42:34 AM »
Word has just come in that two people have reportedly died as a result of the shooting. One of the deceased is believed to be the shooter. A NY police source says that they have still found no tie between the shooting and terrorism. Stay tuned for video from the scene.

It was reported it was a robbery attempt.  How strange.  At the Empire State Building at 9:00 AM on a Friday morning.  Perfect time and place for a robbery.  :mental:

Sounds like another disgruntled worker who shot a co worker. Hope and change! The rest of the victims were from the shootout with police. Could be another gay as he designed women's accessories?

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

<snip>...Bloomberg, speaking at the same news conference, offered a different account on one key point, saying investigators have not yet determined whether Johnson fired any shots at police. He indicated that the shooting outside the Empire State Building was captured on security cameras.

“We do know that — we have on tape — the perpetrator pulled his gun out and tried to shoot at the cops,” the mayor said. “Whether he got off any bullets or not — to be determined. How many he shot earlier — to be determined. We do know that the cops fired back.” He said there was no evidence than anyone besides the two police officers fired at Johnson.

Kelly later said the two officers fired a total of 14 shots at Johnson, whose handgun apparently could not have accounted for all the wounded. Its magazine could hold only eight rounds, and at least one round remained in it, police said. A second, loaded clip was found in his bag...

<snip>

I sense a great disturbance at the New York city Treasurer's office.  As if dozens of bystanders struck by bullets from NYC's "finest" went clamoring for a payday, and were told to pound sand...

Police: All Empire State shooting victims were wounded by officers


Quote
New York (CNN) -- All nine people injured in Friday's shooting in front of the Empire State Building were wounded by police gunfire, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters Saturday.

The officers unloaded a total of 16 rounds at a disgruntled former apparel designer, killing him after he shot and killed a co-worker and engaged in a gunbattle with police, authorities have said.

Police said an investigation is under way after one officer shot nine rounds and another shot seven. Three victims suffered gunshot wounds, while the remaining six were hit by fragments.
