Kurt Myers: D'Amico

Joseph D'Amico Dept: Police officers were fired on from the building, which used to house a bar, on Wednesday afternoon while looking for 64-year-old Kurt Myers, state police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico said. At least one officer returned fire, and later it was unknown if Myers was still alive, D'Amico said, according to Montreal Gazette. Later, police spokesman Jack Keller said the troopers and local police would watch the building all night under the assumption that Myers was still alive and HERKIMER, N.Y. - A man neighbours called a loner coolly walked into an upstate barbershop, asked the owner if he remembered him and then abruptly opened fire with a shotgun, killing two men in the opening salvo of a rampage that left four dead, two wounded and a heavily armed police force bunkered down around an abandoned building, police and family members said. "We're in no rush to bring this to a conclusion," D'Amico said, adding that the main objective was to make sure no one else was hurt. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
