[QUOTE]Webster, N.Y. -- 13WHAM News has learned several people have been shot at the scene of a fire on Lake Road in Webster.
The fire is at 191 Lake Road near Bay Road. A source tells 13WHAM News that at that scene, an unknown gunman opened fire on fire crews on the scene.
The victims have been taken by Mercy Flight to area hospitals. The fire has now spread to a second house.

More info most likely coming soon.
[QUOTE]13WHAM has several crews converging on the scene and will provide updates at they're available.

Follow the source.
What the fuck is wrong with people. The amount of stories like this is just depressing.
They aren't calling this one a mass shooting?
This sucks for the firefighters though :(
Shooting any emergency service personal is just low. Also just before Christmas, makes this even worse, especially for the family's.
Why would you open fire on [B]firemen[/B]. Whoever did this is one sick bastard.
wait what the fuck. fire starts, emergency services get there and they get shot? [I]why?[/I]
Another one, what a crappy year.
EDIT: Looks like only one is wounded. Hope he survives.
My Dad supplies EMT, police officers and fire fighters with everything they need to be on the scene. Never heard of fire fighters needing bullet proof vests, let alone teachers
I'll betcha the shooter started the fire.
Wow. America isn't getting a break with these shootings, is it?
Something tells me that the shooter burnt down the building to hide evidence and shot firefighteers because he wanted it completely gone from the face of this earth
I really hope the media stays brief on this sickening act and doesn't get overly focused on the gunman if they ever identify him/her or get too detailed on what led to the shooting. I get the vibe that these kind of news coverage could spark copycats if they put most of their attention to the culprit rather than the victims.
Doesn't New York have some of the strictest gun laws in the US?

Oh fuck off with your agenda.

That's what all of these fucking goddamn shooting stories do. They serve as nothing but cooler talk for sane people and as that one final push for the insane motherfucker who thinks that a shooting is his chance to become immortal in the annals of fucking history.

How hypocritical, weren't you doing the exact same thing for the last half dozen shooting threads?

Shooting fire fighters on Christmas Eve must reserve one a special place in hell.
This is depressing but what fruxo said might be true that they wanted to desperately hide evidence, instead of just randomly wanting to kill people.
And yes NY has strict gun laws but Webster is upstate so its legal to purchase rifles when your over 18 (background check) and pistols when your over 21 with an appropriate permit (takes like a year to get, judge has to sign ect)
Oh yes, please tell me more how freely you can buy guns in USA, I bet people will bitch again saying that's my rights! I have rights to buy guns, I can do whatever I want, it's my gun, I need guns (for whatever fucking reason that could be)
I hope Obama takes some serious action on bringing some gun restriction laws, even though it wont stop shootings completely, stopping at least 1 shooting would be good already, especially cases like this where firemen get shot by some idiot.

Stop fucking bringing this shit up in every shooting thread, holy fuck.
It's all about ratings. Shootings happen all the time and now they're trending.
Two of them are now deceased.
Seriously, what the fuck?

There are a lot of crazies. I've seen situations were people called for help or set up fights just to lure officers in to cells so they can attack. I got friends who share the stories about how when they're trying to help people - they're EMTS, their patients kick and fight. One of them got kicked in the ribs and had a few broken, etc.
People do stupid shit, people even fight firefighters who are trying to help or control a blaze.
awesome, 15 miles from my house :saddowns:
In my town the Firemen are shot at constantly when they go downtown, since there's a lot of arsonists down there.

This is just sad as shit.
I actually kind of hope this is a desperate man trying to get rid of evidence and not just some sick son of a bitch setting a fire as bait so he can shoot good people. It wouldn't be much better but at least there would be a reason.
My sister's in the city, and they shut down the New York State Thruway. She's not going to be able to come home for hours now
