Four firefighters were shot — two fatally — as they responded to a large fire early Monday in Webster, N.Y., in the northwestern part of the state.
When firefighters arrived on the scene of the blaze around 6 a.m. ET, they were fired upon by one or more shooters, police and fire officials said.
The gunfire forced the firefighters to flee. The two firefighters who were hit but survived are being treated at a local hospital for their wounds.
SWAT teams are on the ground and helicopters are hovering in the air.
“I’m not aware of anything like this happening in Webster, obviously not a firefighter being fired upon,” Webster Fire Marshal Rob Boutillier said, according to the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Police say there is no longer an “active shooting” situation, but residents of the area are being evacuated, and police are searching them as they leave, the newspaper reported.
After the shooting, the fire grew to engulf at least three homes and one motor vehicle.
Michael Damico was among those forced to flee, according to the Democrat and Chronicle.
“The whole strip’s been evacuated,” Damico said. “They’re evacuating all of the houses and going through them.”
FFing Sick. disgusting, cowardly, and probably rifle. Convenient for a ban as argument.
This is much more than government sponsored fear mongering about the constitutional RIGHTS accorded by the second amendment. As a free people it is an OBLIGATION to defend every amendment. The thugs in the shadows fully intend to shred the entire document. The second amendment is the only tool we have to guarantee the integrity and longevity of the others, as well as our own lives and treasures.
“For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security”.– Thomas Jefferson.
“Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”.– Benjamin Franklin (On a bronze placard at the base of the Statue of Liberty) We will have neither if we succumb to this diabolical conspiracy of those elitist tyrants in the government and banks: not even having food on the table is considered a “right” in their twisted logic.
The gun grab has started in NY!
In your story: “The whole strip’s been evacuated,” Damico said. “They’re evacuating all of the houses and going through them.”
When the residents return: none of the gun owners in that community will find their weapons, or other valuable property and cash coveted by “law enforcement” (Remember Katrina !), nor: will they be able to get anything returned.
This is another horrific false flag done by Obama’s Trotsky goons to justify a gun grab in establishing absolute tyranny.
The Colorado movie theater shooting, the Sikh temple shooting, Sandy Hook, and now firefighters in upstate NY. To name a few of the many brutal acts of a fascist police state that fully intends to enslave the working class through an incremental escalation of a violent, brutal, Zionist pogrom.
Where and how they strike next is unknown. What should be known: All weapons should be securely stored in places unlikely to be searched. It should have always been that way to keep your weapons out of the hands of thieves who may or may not have a badge. Your weapons won’t do you any good when they’re taken by force. You won’t need them then. You most likely will need them after they leave!
A quote to ponder: “An evil exists that threatens every man, woman and child of this great nation. We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland.” – Adolf Hitler, 1922.
As police have openly refused to disarm the citizens, those who seek to do so are stepping up the violence in an last ditch effort to sway them. The people have zero reason to attack firemen, but those seeking to disarm us see these people as unarmed opportunities. It is a problem, solution, reaction scenario. I smell a dirty rat, and it has Fed written all over it. These people will use any and all means to push their agenda as history has shown us. They cannot use police as they shoot back, and are armed, but firemen are not. Well they should be in my opinion. Stay safe brothers..
News update: The shooter is dead. They found him by the house but unsure if he shot himself or if the cops shot him in a fire fight. The fireman were all volunteers and were ambushed. One of the firefighters who died was a local cop. The police did not release the type of weapon used nor any info on shooter. 4 homes burned to the ground. They did say it was a trap.
Operation Gladio redux.
Step 1, find gun owner, step 2 shoot patsy, step 3, light fire, step 4 call fire dept, step 5 shoot firefighters, step 6 flee, step 7 alert police and media. Repeat with variations until legal gun owners are “sufficiently” demonized and guns are banned.
Oh, and hey, Tucker, how can we register as Black or Brown or Jewish Americans with the federal government, so as to keep OUR guns the better to kill Whitey with?
BTW, that question is of course rhetotical. Separating white from black/brown , jew from gentile, gun owner from non-gun-owner, gay from straight, and turning all against each other only helps the ones who REALLY want us dead.
“Educate and inform the whole mass of the people… They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty”.–Thomas Jefferson
I’ve been ATTEMPTING to educate the people as instructed by the person named above who has been designated as a “terrorist” by homeland security.
“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent”–Thomas Jefferson
My conscience will not allow me to be silent.
I have known, and long suspected, about what is going on in this effed up country for 30 years or so.
Some have called me “crazy’ and other such personal attacks as well as a “traitor” and “UNAMERICAN”. I have been having some success lately. I don’t know if it’s the passage of time and the increasingly outrageous events, or: that I may have become more articulate and convincing. Anyhoo: the people who I trust in this situation are now arming themselves and preparing for the survival of their families and communities.
“They” have their “game theory warfare”, and we must RESPOND with a version best described as “asymmetrical warfare”; where the only rule is: THERE ARE NO RULES.
They have shown time after time; that: not even our children are safe. NEITHER SHOULD THEIR INBRED OFFSPRING BE SAFE. Some are shocked at the idea of “stooping to their level”. When dealing with cock roaches and other vermin: EXTERMINATION IS THE ONLY SOLUTION to the “Zionist question”, it must be FINAL.
It used to bother me when people called me crazy (even my own family) when I attempted to educate them as to the true nature of the ‘matrix’ we’re currently living in. I’ve even lost friends in the process. But now I don’t let it bother me anymore, because in the final analysis, they are the ones who will pay the ultimate price for their ignorance – with their very lives. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve NEVER stopped trying, and I have managed to convince some of them enough for them to do their own research. But for those unwilling to listen, I have nothing but pity, given the fact that by the time they realize that I’ve been right all along, it will be academic at that point, because they will be totally unprepared to deal with it accordingly.
As to this latest heinous act by those desperate to disarm us at ANY cost, I have just one question – IF, according to them, there are SO many lunatics with guns running around and willing to kill anyone, why haven’t any of the politicians in our so-called ‘government’ been targeted and shot yet.
Politicians are some of the most despicable, despised scumbags around, so why haven’t there been any attempts at killing any of them?
Very telling fact, I’d say.
Extremely good point #1!
Why don’t the likes of E. Howard Hunt ever die at the hands of these “murderous maniacs”?
“Politicians are some of the most despicable, despised scumbags around, so why haven’t there been any attempts at killing any of them?”
Well there were some incidents.. Remember the Anthrax to the politicians that didn’t lockstep for the war on Terror.
Them evil terrorist showed them to get in line with the other side or else.
Yeah, but they’re still breathing.
Point Yours.
I, too, do not understand why the deep-enders do not stalk the treasonous
politicians and shadow people who erroneously believe they are indispensable. The only reason one would target innocence and courageous
people who only want to help is a group who have infested America from
the inside with the diabolical plot to bring down America. First they will
come for your shotguns then they will come for your handguns.
Icycurrent, spot on! If the “conspiracy-theorist-prepper-gun-nut-rampage-constitutionalist-extremist” (yes, indeed they are trying to group all those together) is such a well-defined danger, why don’t they ever try to kill the people that drive their conspiracies?
“Because the killers are, or work for those people” is certainly a plausible explanation.
Just out of curiosity, Tucker, it looks like you’re trying to educate and ally with people by insulting them. What’s your success rate with that like? Who is your audience?
We are talking about the Second Amendment, and without that, the protected free speech espousing White European Racial Purity won’t even be allowed to occur in the upcoming political climate, will it?
I comment that “divide and conquer” is an effective political strategy for civil liberties abolitionists fighting things like the Second Amendment, and you respond by saying Whites must separate from all other Americans, be they Jew, Black, Brown, gay, or any combination thereof, and fight .gov all by themselves. And you appear to do that in the most insulting manner you can manage.
Is this entire battle going to be fought by angry middle-aged White European men alone, and won?
Forgive me, but your thesis sounds like it was written by Cass Sunstein, Mr. “Divide and Conquer” himself, or maybe Mark Potok from SPLC. Have they “cognitively infiltrated” your keyboard?
Please set me straight here, and put to rest my fears of seeing the entire comment section here pointed out on CNN as clear evidence of “dangerous extremism” in the US.
Oh, it looks like Tucker’s comments have vanished. Strange.
Yeah, Tucker is no doubt employed by the communists, who on one hand push multi-culturalism and political correctness as a tool to divide. And then on the other hand, think they can divide American nationals through pigment of skin. They must really hate our Bill of Rights and our adherence thereto.
