Another psycho with a gun

[Big Indian]

Hoping all in the area are safe! Especially my brother firefighters.  A similar situation happened a few years ago in Webster NY

 

 

Firefighters from Leroy, NY were shot at while responding to a dwelling fire at 0530 hours this morning. No firefighters have been injured but one civilian one is dead and the scene may still be an active shooter situation-but some reports are that it is now over.  
Apparently the suspect set his own house on fire and then went to a neighbors house and shot a man, who was in bed.

Leroy NY is SW of Rochester.

Isn't there a Leroy, NY up off of Rt. 11 in St. Lawrence County, between Ft. Drum and Canton?

Wasn't there a similar incident really close to that a few years ago? I think some girl bought the gun for the guy and he did the same thing?

Leroy is in Rochester

Yeah, a few years ago, it was the West Webster FD that got shot at. Guy named Spangler.

I knew the Spangler family as I grew up down the street from them . 4 Webster FF were shot, two killed. One was also a Webster Poilce LT. One of the Volleys wounded also works for my Dept .

Leroy is between Rochester and Buffalo, closer to Rochester though .

Just goes to show you, in the first responder's line of work, nothing is routine.  Very turbulent times right now for all law enforcement and other first responders.  Keep your heads up, and on a swivel, out there.

God bless the victim and his family...and protect all responders this season. I had a friend that was on an ambulance crew in Rochester...the police would always keep them from going in until it was cleared and any risk of a shooter in the area was confirmed. She said it was scary and sad because it always delayed help for a long while.

Back " in da day" we never staged for the police, just went in. I was on countless shootings before the cops, a couple with the shooter still there ,one a sawed off 12 ga placed in the mouth and fired by the girl friend .

That was one soggy couch ....

I don't like feeling I need to be more worried outside a fire than inside. Kinda makes me think twice about responding as a chief officer direct to the scene. Most of the times, we could be on scene for quite a while before the first LE arrives.
