SWAT teams have moved in on a jewelry store in upstate New York where a man accused of killing four people and wounding two others is in hiding.

The Herkimer Police Department confirmed that the suspect fired shots at police officers.

A black armored vehicle and a track-driven robot with a camera on top rolled up in front of Glory Days Food and Spirits in the village of Herkimer on Wednesday afternoon as officers surrounded blocks of shops topped with apartments

I BEG your pardon, sir. I am hung.

That's all right.

[Ladysforest]

No sorry needed. I snark about that ass Cuomo and his damn seven rounds every chance I get.

And of course he rushed to Herkimer within a couple of hours of the last shooting so that he could grandstand on the bodies just a stones throw from Ilion and the Remington factory. I hate that fing commie.

Humph-I sound angry. Sorry if I offend anyone.

Did they ever report what kind of shotgun? Double barrel, pump, semi-auto?

BTW - Nothing in Little Andy’s tyrannical gun grab would have touched this. You can’t stop a violent crazy person with a law. You need a gun.

I live in Rome, NY, and remember taking my kids to the Diamond Mine when they were little. In an earlier posting, I stated that I knew one of the men killed today. I worked with Mike Renshaw at Midstate Correctional Facility in Marcy, NY. I was a Sergeant at the time. The Union press release states that Mike had 23 years in the department. As well, a retired Correction Officer was also killed by the same perp...at the barbershop. Mike Ransear had 18 years in the department. He had retired from Mohawk Correctional Facility, which is a hop, skip, and a jump from where I live. I don't believe I knew him. Here's the link to the Union's press release:

Officers Killed

Steely, I feel your pain.....

Pictures are hung....people hanged.

Sounds strange, but conveys the meaning better than “he flew out.”

I live in Herkimer, yesterday just about all the busineeses were shut down. Tens of State Police and Home Land Security took over N Main sT. The shooter was holed up in the Glory Days Restuarant that has been closed about 5 years. About 30 minutes ago, a State Police/FBI team entered the building with a dog, and located the shooter in the basement. Shooter shot the dog, and the SP/FBI team shot and killed the shooter. Game over

Prayers up for your community and the families of those who were killed.

It was good to be a guy in the Oneida Community. :-))

OK now. So two of those people murdered were corrections officers, the others were in the wrong place at the time this guy went nuts. It seems too much of a coincidence that two of those killed were officers.

"It seems too much of a coincidence that two of those killed were officers."

One was still working, while the other had retired. They were from different facilities in the Mohawk Valley. They were killed in two different villages. It does seem strange, but so far there has been no link found between the victims and the perp, and no motive discovered for the shootings.

More than likely a situation involving some long-past incident of infidelity on the part of someone. No one is going to talk.

Proverbs 6:32 The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; he who would destroy himself does it.
Proverbs 6:33 Wounds and disgrace he will find, and his reproach will not be blotted out.
Proverbs 6:34 For jealousy enrages a man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
Proverbs 6:35 He will not accept any ransom, nor will he be content though you give many gifts.

I don't believe there was any case of infidelity involved. I think the guy was a whack job, probably a paranoid-schizophrenic. Below is the link to an article that appeared in the Auburn (NY) Citizen today. There's comments from his old boss, and some neighbors. The comments are pretty telling in regards to his personality and behavior.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

It was on the internet, must be true.

[mass55th]

LOL! I love that commercial.

[Steely Tom]

Guy goes nuts, gets a gun, kills some people.

Obviously a situation the Founding Fathers never foresaw.

Great excuse to do away with the Second Amendment. And maybe the First and the Fourth while we’re at it.
