Man shot, killed after opening fire at NY court
(AP) MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. — A man killed in a gunfight with security officers at a courthouse on Wednesday was convicted a week ago of menacing the mayor's daughter and was angry at the mayor, according to authorities and court documents.Timothy Mulqueen, of Middletown, opened fire with a 12-gauge shotgun in the lobby of his hometown courthouse at about 9 a.m. Officers returned fired as people in the building dove under desks and scrambled for the rear door, authorities said.
"He had more rounds for the shotgun and had he made it past the officers, who knows what mayhem might have ensued," said David Bookstaver, spokesman for the state office in charge of New York's local court system. "It appears at this point that the officers may have saved countless lives."
The 43-year-old Mulqueen died at a hospital. One of the officers suffered a graze wound






In a report he has written "on behalf of Philips electronics" (which depiqued it a bit, but I pressed on) he claims that "men are freer today than ever before but aren't making the most of this freedom when it comes to shaving and grooming".
