The courthouse steps on which Barzini was shot made the news today. Apparently a car ran out of control and climbed some of the steps, injuring a few people. Here's an excerpt from the story:

Emergency workers have freed a man pinned under a car that smashed into the steps of the state Supreme Court building in downtown Manhattan.

The car went over the sidewalk, hit a coffee cart and went up several steps before hitting the man. Two other bystanders appear to have minor injuries.

The coffee vendor suffered minor injuries. The driver, his passenger and two other bystanders also were hurt.

The victim was pinned from about the mid-chest down and had blood on his face.

The dazed driver lay on the sidewalk after being removed from the car, which has a smashed windshield.

The late-model Nissan was heading north on Centre Street when the accident occurred shortly before 11 a.m.


A radio report of the story added that there were bagels EVERYWHERE after the car hit the coffee cart. Gotta love that in-depth coverage.
