Two killed at Empire State Building Shooting...

only in ny....police shoot more people then the actual shooter

Why were those cops carrying guns? Isn't that area a gun free zone?

They're saying it's the 3rd mass shooting this summer... So now one guy shoots a fmr co-worker and police end up shooting him (and hitting 8 more???) it's a mass shooting? WTF?

They even said in one report I read that the guy shot his co-worker, who was his only intended victim, and the others were all injured when the police shot at him. Yet they are still calling it a mass shooting. Liberlogic strikes again.

I hope all the injured end up recovering and go on to be able to live normal lives. It sounds like they are saying that most of the injuries were "grazes".

Hopefully NYPD didn't light anyone up too badly. I'm sure they were too shocked at the thought of someone besides them having a gun in the city limits that they were unable to steady their sight picture.

If banning guns in NY is so successful then NYPD should give up their guns and do as the British do.

Actually, many of the Bobbies now carry handguns. I recently heard an interview with one who said that it's the only way they feel safe anymore due to increased crime & violence.

It just never stops does it? Damn guns!

It's Bloombergs fault!

"Police returned fire, killing the shooter and wounding several bystanders, all of whom were expected to survive, Mayor Michael Bloomberg told a news conference."

The fact that he was on a crowded street did not seem to make that much of a difference to them, although I'll bet they probably fired a few less rounds than they would have otherwise. Typically NYPD empties the magazine in a shooting incident . . . and misses with at least half of their shots.

They landed on target with at least 10 of their 14 shots.


Unfortunately at least 9 of them were on bystanders. Latest reports are that a man carrying a 1911 (no high capacity full auto assault pistols this time...) walked up to his former place of employment, went straight for one individual, and shot him in the head. Police returned fire.

those nice NY 12# triggers make the guns much safer
