WEBSTER, N.Y. (AP) — Emergency radio communications
capture someone saying he "could see the muzzle flash coming at me" as a
New York state gunman ambushed firefighters responding to a blaze he
had set to trap them.
The audio draws a chilling picture of the
attack police say William Spengler carried out Friday morning in the
Lake Ontario community of Webster.
The audio posted on the website
RadioReference.com has someone reporting "firefighters are down" and
saying "got to be rifle or shotgun."
Spengler set a blaze to lure
the firefighters into his ambush. He killed two and wounded two other
firefighters and an off-duty police officer before killing himself.
