4 dead in New York Greenwich Village shootout
None
Two unarmed volunteer police officers were shot dead outside a strip of busy restaurants and bars near New York University after they bravely followed a gunman who had killed a pizza parlor employee, the mayor said.
The lethal gunman was shot and killed later by regular police officers who raced to the scene Wednesday night in downtown Manhattan, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. “Tonight was a horrible night for the New York Police Department and for our city,” he said. (AP)
