Police Kill Shooting Suspect in Upstate NY 
-------------------------------------------


 
Police in upstate New York, meanwhile, have killed a man suspected of
shooting four people dead and wounding two others during a shooting
spree at a barbershop and car wash. Officers traced the suspect, Kurt
Myers, to an abandoned commercial building in the village of Herkimer,
New York. State Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico described what
happened on Thursday.

Joseph D'Amico: "This morning, joint teams from the FBI and the New York
state police tactical teams, shortly before 8 a.m., entered the location
with canines as part of the team. And somewhere on the first floor of
the location, the gunman began to shoot at the tactical team, struck one
of the canines, and fire was returned and exchanged with the gunman from
one of the tactical teams. And at that time, the male, Kurt Myers, was
shot and killed inside the location."
