All nine people wounded during a dramatic confrontation between police and a gunman outside the Empire State Building were struck by bullets fired by the two officers, police said Saturday, citing ballistics evidence.
The veteran patrolmen who opened fire on the suit-wearing gunman, Jeffrey Johnson, had only an instant to react when he whirled and pointed a .45-caliber pistol as they approached him from behind on a busy sidewalk.

Bang up job by our boys in blue!
Yes they DID do a great job, killing the gunman!
4:16 you wouldn't thinkm that if you were one of the ones they shot! fool! but then again it is NY and guns are already outlawed there. gee, I wonder why this guy didn't obey the law, like all the sheep do!
If you read the original article, it says most of the bystanders were hit by bullet fragments that ricochetted off of hard objects on the street.
Is it unfortunate that these people were wounded? Absolutely, but the police eliminated the threat before anyone else was killed. Furthermore, the taxpayers will not have to keep this individual in prison for the next 40 years.
Well done, NYPD!
Anothther reason that we should all have second amendment rights. He never would have gotten as far as he did, and the problem would have been taken care of before police arrived.
7:15 you can spin all you want but the original article said: "struck either by fragments or by bullets fired by police," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told reporters"...
The officers are completely irresponsible firing 16 SHOTS.
Certainly not very professional or accurate. Actually it is quite pathetic as the results show.
However, perp dead? yes. Good thing for all the reasons you mention.
Have you watched the video? The police did an outstanding job. They had no other choice as to DEFEND THEMSELVES.
845-Their bullets are the ones that wounded all the citizens. Defense or offense? Yeah, that sums it up sheep.
So I guess they should have just stood their and gotten shot?
619-The perp didn't shoot anybody, the police shot 9 unarmed and completely innocent citizens.
