The mayor and police commissioner just held a short press conference. Apparently the gunman was a disgruntled worker who had been laid off from his job last year. He shot his former boss and was making his getaway when a witness pointed him out to two uniformed cops. The cops were approaching the gunman when he pulled out his revolver (a .45) and in a quick exchange of gunfire, the gunman was shot and killed.

In addition, some nine, or so, others were shot and wounded during the exchange.
