>From Channel 10 news - close to home (right across 44th St from my house, in fact). Very disquieting and upsetting. It must have happened around 7:00 pm. The place was teeming with police cars and TV news vans at 7:30. And cops were still walking up and down Spruce St (probably 44th, too, although I didn't see them) at 10:00 pm.
