Re: People Shot Outside Empire State Building
Kelly and Bloomberg said it's possible some of the victims were shot accidentally by police who were engaged in a gunfight with the suspect.

Re: People Shot Outside Empire State Building
Yes. B/c in this situation, the cross-fire created by the additional guns would have killed off those who accidentally killed others by their cross-fire. If only guns had been legal in NYC, they probably could have generated enough lead to clear the area of all innocent bystanders and leaving only the lawful gunmen.
Sometimes, just sometimes, more guns are not the answer.

Re: People Shot Outside Empire State Building
Yeah, the illegal guns argument doesn't hold much water to me when you can go across state lines and get one easily.

Re: People Shot Outside Empire State Building
Here's the story on the Empire State Building shootings from yesterday. Not sure how many people were shot, but it sounds like some civilians were hit when the police were trying to take down Jeff Johnson.
