Shaffrey was not working and had just attended the concert with family when the shooting started. Gunman shot by police at NYC cathedral Christmas concertBy TED SHAFFREY and MARY ESCHDecember 14, 2020NEW YORK (AP) — A man was fatally shot by police on the steps of a landmark New York City cathedral Sunday after he began firing two semiautomatic handguns at the end of a Christmas choral concert, police said.The gunfire began just before 4 p.m. at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, mother church of the Episcopal Diocese of New York.A 45-minute concert held on the cathedral steps had just concluded and a crowd of several hundred people was drifting away when the gunman started shooting, sending people running down Amsterdam Avenue screaming and diving to the sidewalk.A detective, a sergeant and a police officer who were at the event fired 15 rounds, killing the man, said New York Police Commissioner Dermot Shea.“It is by the grace of God today,” he said, that no one besides the gunman was struck.The gunman was dressed in black with his face obscured by a white baseball cap and a face mask. He held a silver pistol in one hand and a black one in the other as he stepped from behind a stone column at the top of the staircase.Witnesses told police the man was yelling “kill me” as he fired, Shea said. The man’s name was not immediately released.The man had a lengthy criminal history and was carrying a backpack containing a can of gasoline, rope, wire, tape, knives and a well-worn Bible, Shea said. The police commissioner called the actions of the officers “heroic.”It wasn’t clear if the gunman was aiming at people or firing in the air.A video posted on social media by one bystander showed officers crouched behind trash cans yelling “drop the gun!” and firing carefully aimed shots at the man for at least a minute and half as he darted in and out from behind a pillar.Some terrified civilians lay prone at the bottom of the steps, clutching each other during the gunfire. Others cowered behind a lamp post. They ran for safety after the gunman was felled by an officer’s shot.Before the gunfire began, the concert featured members of the cathedral choir standing far apart on the stone steps wearing masks because of the coronavirus pandemic.“It was just beautiful, and then at the end this person started shooting. Everybody is in shock,” a cathedral spokeswoman, Lisa Schubert, told The New York Times. “The shooter could have killed a lot of people. There were hundreds of people here and he shot at least 20 times.”“It is horrible that our choir’s gift to New York City, a much-needed afternoon of song and unity, was cut short by this shocking act of violence,” cathedral spokeswoman Iva Benson said by email.The cathedral is one of the world’s largest. Construction began in 1892 and is still incomplete. The church has been connected to many New York luminaries and notable events over its long history. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a trustee. It hosted the memorial services for puppeteer Jim Henson and choreographer Alvin Ailey, and speakers over the years including South Africa’s Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.___AP writer Michael R.

The History of the NYC Sanitation Department Dance Heart 2020-04-17 | New York City Department of Sanitation anthropologist-in-residence Robin Nagle speaks to new hires about the department's history on July 20, 2015, in New York. Video by Ted Shaffrey. 1/19/2023 UPDATE: Some people have asked why I turned the camera away from the presentation at around 19:50. I did that because Robin Nagle was displaying copyrighted images from Superstorm Sandy that I could not rebroadcast. So, as is my habit, I tested my camera focus and exposure settings on random people in the audience. Then, when she was no longer displaying the copyrighted images, I turned the camera back to the presentation. 4/16/2020: Robin Nagle, as described in a 2015 Associated Press story: “Nagle is not merely an ivory-tower scholar. She has got her hands dirty, literally, by going through the training, learning to drive the trucks and working for almost a year as a regular, salaried sanitation worker.Her biggest contribution, as far as the city's 6,400 rank-and-file sanitation workers are concerned, is in raising morale for a job that is often overlooked.In talks to new recruits, she spreads a message of pride that the 134-year-old department nicknamed "New York's Strongest" is "the city's most important uniformed force," clearing streets of the refuse that would otherwise breed vermin and disease."I will also make clear to you how it is far more dangerous than being a cop or a fire fighter. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics you are three times, you are three times more likely to be injured or killed in the line of duty," she tells the recruits.Nagle says she loves sanitation workers because they make a difference every single day.”

Jurado, now 75-years-old, left the state's since closed Marlboro Camp, where he was serving time for a drug offense.Jurado was not an especially notorious criminal, though he had several run-ins with the law in the 1960s and 1970s.

But he managed to stay on the lam longer than all but a few people who have escaped from New Jersey prisons.Journalists from The Associated Press rode along with authorities when they arrested him on Wednesday.

She told police "He said to me, 'I'm sorry.'"Jurado is held in Philadelphia until he can be extradited to New Jersey to serve more time. He served less than four months of a 3- to 10-year prison sentence before he escaped. He will have to complete the original sentence and could get up to five more years in prison if he is convicted of escape.At any given time, about 120 to 130 people are listed on the state Corrections Department Web site as "escaped." More than half got away in the last five years and only a handful have been on the lam as long as Jurado.
