NEW YORK -- A man was shot by police after shots rang out at the end of a Christmas choral concert on the steps of a Manhattan cathedral Sunday afternoon.
It’s unclear if the gunman was killed and police said there's no indication anyone but the gunman was shot. The shooting happened just before 4 p.m. at the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, mother church of the Episcopal Diocese of New York and seat of its bishop.
The 45-minute concert had just concluded and people were starting to walk away when a series of shots was heard, sending people running down the street screaming. Officers who had been on hand to provide security for the event quickly moved in and shot the gunman, who police believe was armed with a rifle.
The man was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

” the gunman, who police believe was armed with a rifle.”
What do you think that thing Larry, I don’t know Curley let’s ask Moe
More likely one of the Rats whom the Nutcracker vanquishes.
Some reports have the perp firing into the air while standing on the steps outside the church.
If so, wonder if it was suicide-by-cop.
Weird. Go to the NYPost. He was wearing a matching cap and mask, red white and blue, with some kind of symbols on it that I couldn’t identify (also, it was a cell phone photo from a distance).
He shot at the doors. They have some big bronze doors there and he fired at them and yelled “kill me, kill me” to the cops. The post says he was 52 years old but no other info.
I grew up just down the street, although since I’m Catholic I never went there except for concerts and poetry readings when I was an adult. By then it was true Episcopalian weirdness...they had an installed an “environmental” algae tank in the vestibule to show their unity with “creation.” They got there long before Bergoglio.
Knew about the Blessing of animals there... and not just house pets but I recall a burro at ome time. So the algae tanks comes as no surprise.
Maybe they think pistol + pistol = rifle?
Another shooting in Blue America.
