Watch This Story: Gunman kills 1, wounds 9 at Empire State Building
DaveB:
What would have happened in NY if it would have been a civilian with a CWP that killed the guy and still wounded 9 other innocent people. Would it have just been "one of those things"?

1 charge of 2nd degree murder and 9 charges of attempted manslaughter, along with some other misc. charges/weapon offenses. That's what would have happened.

Just a side thought. Has anyone heard of this before?? I just read a couple sources that said NYPD requires a 12lb trigger pull on service firearms. Wonder if this could have any implications on the accuracy of shot's fired by officers in this instance. I'm sure if you trained with that trigger pull you could become more accurate with it, but still a 12lb trigger pull would effect accuracy in any instance.

That point was well made by Dave Hineline up above:

Noo Yawk Triggers are indeed 12 pounds.
Takes two hands, like a Whopper.
Can't help accuracy very much. Maybe current situation under scrutiny is a case in point.

It appears to me the officer on the right is firing one-handed. That would be rough with a 12 pound trigger under stress...
