Gunman shot dead by cops after opening fire during New York cathedral concert
Armed assault on church
New York City Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said the suspect, who was not identified, was struck at least once in the head during the gun battle, with police firing a total of 15 rounds at him.
“It is by the grace of God today,” he said, that no one besides the gunman was struck.
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.”
Mr Shea said: "I think we can all surmise the ill intentions of the proceeds of this bag."
