gunman's bloody rampage through a crowded Manhattan neighborhood likely would have killed more people had two unarmed police volunteers not intervened, losing their own lives in the process, police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Thursday.
Kelly praised the work of Auxiliary Officers Nicholas Todd Pekearo and Eugene Marshalik and showed reporters surveillance video of Pekearo ducking behind a car before he was fatally shot as the gunman hovered over him.
Both volunteers followed the gunman, 32-year-old David Garvin, who then turned on them, fatally shooting both, police said. Garvin then exchanged fire with full-time officers, dying on the scene.
The shooting started at a nearby restaurant, where Garvin, wearing a fake beard, shot and killed a bartender.
Witness Andy Paul, standing outside a club where his band was about to perform, saw people milling about, enjoying one of the first warm evenings of the year. Then he saw the man with the gun.
"He was running this way putting a new clip in," the 28-year-old singer said Thursday. "He turned around, firing at the cops." "I hit the ground," Paul said. "I wasn't paying attention to anything. I just didn't want to get shot." When it was all over, Garvin's body lay bloodied and askew outside a shop, a gun lying on the sidewalk steps away. He had been carrying two semiautomatic firearms and a bag with a fake beard and 100 rounds of ammunition, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
Police were trying to uncover what prompted the rampage, which began at around 9 p.m., when Garvin went into De Marco's Pizzeria and Restaurant, asked for a menu, then shot an employee 15 times in the back, Bloomberg said. Police identified the victim as Alfredo Romaro, 35.
A neighborhood resident, Tina Lourenco, said she saw the gunman and recognized him as a former employee of the locale. But Dominick De Marco Jr., whose sister runs the pizza parlor, told The New York Times the shooter was probably a former customer.
Garvin fled, and nearby police who had heard the shots radioed information about the gunman. Pekearo and Marshalik, on their regular patrol nearby, came toward the gunman, who fired at them.
Auxiliary officers, civilian volunteers who wear uniforms nearly identical to those of police officers, are unarmed and help patrol streets. Garvin then exchanged gunfire with full-time officers, who shot him, police said.
"He appeared to be ready to take even more lives," Kelly said.
Pekearo, 28, was a writer with a book scheduled to be published soon, the mayor said. Marshalik, 19, a student at nearby New York University, had immigrated from Russia, Bloomberg said.
The younger man joined the auxiliary force after deciding he wanted to become a prosecutor, Tatyana Kochergina said at her cousin's suburban Valley Stream home.
"He would say he really enjoyed it," said Kochergina, 21. "He got along with everybody on the squad. Sometimes he would ride along with the NYPD. He felt like it was where he wanted to be." "He was just a kind-hearted individual who could make anyone smile. A brilliant, brilliant young man. ... He was amazing," Kochergina said before becoming too distraught to continue talking.
A profile under the teenager's name on the social networking Web site facebook.com lists his interests as "Political/Economic discussion, New York City, Law, Law Enforcement, The Mets." Among his favorite TV shows: "The Simpsons." Charles Jottras, 22, witnessed the last moments of the gunman's encounter with the police from his fourth-floor apartment window.
After hearing noises he thought were firecrackers, he looked outside and saw three officers approaching the Village Tannery.
Soon, a man came out with his hands on his head -- apparently a customer -- who then left, Jottras said.
Then shots were fired, apparently inside the store. And moments later, the gunman came out shooting at the police, who then shot the gunman dead. Soon, dozens of officers were swarming the area.
The exchange occurred around 9:15 p.m., and Jottras said the man's body was not removed for about six hours. Jottras said he counted 59 cones marking shell casings.
Authorities said Garvin shot at least 23 rounds on his bloody circuit through the neighborhood, where people enjoying the spring-like weather were flocking to the area's many outdoor cafes.
As an ambulance pulled away from the scene, police drew yellow tape across several intersections, closing off a section of Bleecker Street near NYU's downtown campus and close to several famous bars and restaurants, including Cafe Wha?, where Bob Dylan used to perform.
At Lion's Den, where Andy Paul's hard-rock band had been scheduled to perform, showgoers ducked into the back of the venue.
Josh Drimmer was among those who stayed hidden there until police escorted the group out.
"Hearing that many shots in a row," he said, "it was war. It felt like that for a hot second." Residents of the pricey neighborhood said they were shocked by the violence.
"It's very not typical of the area," said Amy Stoyko, who lives on a block of Bleecker Street that was still cordoned off Thursday morning.
Nearby, someone had taped a sign to a lamppost along with pink silk flowers. It read: "Rest in peace, our beloved auxiliaries." City officials said the two auxiliary officers, the first to die in the line of duty since 1993, would get full police honors at their funerals. Only five other auxiliary officers have died on the job in the city's history.
Kelly said the city's nearly 4,500 auxiliary officers, who are not required to respond to emergency calls, are the "eyes and ears" of the police force.
"Day in and day out, they sacrifice their free time and energy for the people of our city," Kelly said
same guy?
I would love to see a fight in the "peace" thread.
nope strictly on a peace thing, just saying if dude wants to call out peace, he gots to mean it
actions got to meet words or the words don't mean shit, know what I mean
You can't mean P E A C E
Cause I've seen people on the streets
Shoot the next man and turn around and say peace
But that's leaving people in pieces
It's not what the meaning of peace is
To me it means absence of all confusion
Not the oozing and brusing
That we're all so accumstomed to
Your friend got beef? I'll bust him too
What a brother from a certain way of life explained to me once, dunce
He didn't realize the fact that
He and myself were brothers on the same rope
Now last month he got hemmed up, huh, that's all she wrote
So I can get up where she left the exclamation
Looking for an explanation
Little kids think that peace is a word that you use to sound down
And I frown
Cause that's what I was told at eaight years old
And now I'm trying to break the mold
So stop the dominoes
Because I think it's about time that everyone knows

Peace! But everybody's in terror
We're going back to the caveman era
Where people got killed, without the chance to build
Shame how the plane is filled
With so many so-called intellects
That can't use a word in its proper context
Needless to say I'm vexed, so what's next?
Peace! It's not the word to use
When at the same time you got the plans to abuse
Folks not on their P's and Q's
I'll see you in the news
Somebody screwed up the diction
You might die looking for the right definition
Cause "peace" nowadays means "gun," or "gotta run"
30 years from now we'll wonder how the younger generation got foul
Look at what we teach them today
Peace is not the word to play
Ayo, corny or not, we gotta stop saying "peace" and not meaning it
Know what I'm saying? Main Source forever, y'all
Peace is not the word to play
Show us the way.
you're sad - that somehow, in your advanced state of bush-hatred-dementia, you take a shooting in the village and imply that its the president's fault. I mean really, have a little sense.
ain't thrown a punch in years. Sometimes I???ll say things that may escalate a situation, but as soon as I come to my senses I will apologize to that person and hope they understand that the heat of the moment sometimes makes a person show their ugly side
I've had several dudes get in my face in that time and not once did it come to blows.
I've lost my head but always used my words to discuss the situations and those situations that words didn't work in usually died out anyways.
only a simpleton finds a solution in violence. A complex man knows there are more options
I've had issues with my assistant, Dave. In a best case scenario, he only has severe ADD and childhood trauma from being abandoned by his parents when he was 10. Despite his inability to complete most if not all the work he's been assigned which has had me working 14 hour days for 20 days straight, I bought him breakfast today and listened while he told me about his issues with the latest girl he's seeing. Tomorrow is our last day working on this project together and I have every intention of giving him a hug and wishing him the best of luck in his future employment.
no hard feelings, cause all is peace between us.
I got another situation where a girl did me dirtier than most of you can imagine. It's a situation that has brought me to the depths of depression and gave me responsibilities I was in not ready to deal with. It took some time to deal with but I am now learning to be ok with what she did and if I see her again, which I most likely will, I think I'll be able to speak with her like a mature adult.
peace will come
open your mouth, peace is coming.
and, anyone who is blindly defending all of the actions of our president is as gasfaced as shrill liberals who put it all on him.
moving on. peace. yes, peace. things are bad. angry, go-for-self feelings abound these days. i'm with this movement. hold a door and start small.
Hmmmmm....
Or
I played this entire album at my fam's Xmas celebration and everybody (inc Grandpa) was digging on it
I've got an 80s reish of 'Hey, Love' that (for some reason??!) remixes the sleeve for this LP
The only reason was that Sugarhill (who owned Chess at the time) didn't know what the hell they were doing. (Chess/Sugarhill also reissued Peace proper, with a red background on the cover instead of the classic Chess Concept black...)
