In New York a man who opened fire on the sidelines of a Christmas concert was shot dead by the police. The man had shot around in front of the St. John the Divine Cathedral in Manhattan on Sunday (local time), but did not injure anyone, as the local police chief Dermot Shea announced. Three police officers then fired at the man at least 15 times, at least one of the bullets hit him in the head.
A choir had sung Christmas carols in front of the cathedral. Several hundred people attended the concert. A journalist in attendance said the man opened fire when the crowd began to break up after the concert ended. He stood on the church stairs and shot. “I just ran for my life,” said the journalist.
Background of the incident unclear
Another witness said the man fired eight to ten shots before he was shot himself. The background to the incident was initially unclear. The police found two firearms at the scene. Nearby she also discovered a bag with a full gasoline can, rope, wire and several knives.
