    53? If the guy was that bitter he should have just gone home and put that gun in his mouth. Instead he decides to take someone with him, and then tries to kill as many random people as he can before he's shot dead...selfish prick!

    seems like some of the wounded were hit by police fire according to CNN... the suspect raised his .45 at them on a very busy street. Bad business.

    Nothing but praise to the boys in blue though

    According to NYC Mayor Bloomberg it seems that the shooter only shot his former colleague (and allegedly his former lover, too) while the police are responsible for shooting the nine innocent bystanders.

    Just another typical day for the NYPD. :roll:

    By that I mean that they have a nagging habit of lousy marksmanship and they also have a recurring tendency to shoot too many times at people.

    The NYPD turned the scene into a shooting gallery.

    Considering that a civilian carrying a gun in Manhattan is an illegal act, and that owning a sawed-off shotgun in the USA requires an extremely invasive background check, Mayor Bloomberg and the NYPD have some serious explaining to do.

    My first thought was lovers spat when they mentioned his job and no mention of wife or children! Is that wrong? :oops:

    If only his co-worker and the civilians shot had CCW's, none of this would have happened.

    The nine innocent bystanders would not have been shot, if that's what you mean.

    Wow, this gets interesting. So people with CCW have a cop shoot them? Anyway, one of these civilian shooters would have just taken out the bad guy, since we know that civilian shooters only hit the target they're aiming at, unlike the cops.
