Times Get Crazy In Time Square

On Thursday at Time Square in New York, holiday craze got to a couple of street peddlers. A policeman noticed two street peddlers trying to sell Cd's to anyone and everyone they could. While in ordinary circumstances this would be a very easy situation to handle, the peddler's became aggressive in their sales tactics almost forcing people passing by to buy unwanted items. The police approached the men to try and diffuse the situation, that's when one of the men pulled a gun and fired on the policeman. He missed shattering the windows of the stores behind. The police returned fired hitting the suspect, who was later pronounced dead at the hospital. A business card was found at the scene for a gun dealer that had been dropped by the suspect, on the back of the card was a note that said "I feel sorry for a cop who thinks I'm getting into his paddy wagon." Luckily no one else was injured, this shows that you never can be too careful around the holiday times.
