They are searching my neighborhood right now. We were wondering what all the sirens and copter cover were. It is directly overhead.
News 4 stated they were 2 US Marshals. That is all I know, other than it is very loud and I do not plan on stepping outside.

WEST VILLAGE — Two law enforcement officers and a fugitive were wounded during a shootout in the West Village Monday afternoon, sources said.
A federal fugitive task force, which was made up officers from various agencies, were trying to arrest a suspect near West 4th Street and Jones Street about 1:10 p.m. when gunfire broke out, according to sources and the FDNY.
The fugitive, whose name and age were not immediately released, was critically injured, sources said.
A marshal and detective who were hit were rushed to area hospitals, sources said.
The United States Marshals Service and the NYPD did not immediately have additional information.

Where’s Tommy Lee Jones when you need him? lol
Be safe, Angel.
Things have finally quieted down. 2 US Marshals and 1 NYPD detective were shot. The “fugitive” is dead (knew he wouldn’t make it out alive).
Yes it is best to stay inside any time the police are around. And bring the dog in as well. And any strays you see. Would not want them gunned down.

Wow Angel. I’d say you have had an interesting day so far.
Angel maybe it is time to move to the mountains. Stay safe.
“The fugitive, whose name and age were not immediately released, was critically injured, sources said.
All 3 that he shot had non-life threatening injuries. One got shot in the butt (probably running away), this guy gets smoked, and you know why?
This 5150 case went up against cops armed with automatic weapons with nothing more than a REVOLVER.
Only way to fix stupid that I know of. Rather permanent, though.
That sux, Angel.
Happens here a lot. Stay safe.
