NYC police: Officer kills Times Square scammer
NYC police: Officer kills Times Square scammer
NEW YORK — A plainclothes cop chased a Times Square scam artist through sidewalks crowded with holiday shoppers and tourists Thursday, exchanging gunfire that shattered Broadway theater and gift shop windows, before killing the suspect near a landmark hotel, police said.
No one else was injured.
The 25-year-old suspect was believed to be conning tourists along Broadway and 46th Street when he was recognized just before noon by a sergeant who runs a task force that monitors aggressive panhandling, chief NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said.
The officer approached and asked the suspect and another man for identification, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. One of the men took off running into the streets and through the Marriott Marquis hotel's passenger drop-off area, Browne said.
The sergeant pursued, and the man turned and fired with a stolen Mac-10 machine pistol that held 30 rounds; he got off two shots before it jammed, police said. The officer fired four times, striking the suspect in the chest and arm and killing him, Kelly said.
Dave Kinmahan, a tourist from Boston, was parking his car in a spot below street level at the hotel when he saw one man shooting another.
"I was 20 yards away," Kinmahan said. He said he thought, "Is this real or this a movie?"
The hotel is located in the Broadway theater district and near the heart of Times Square. The area includes the Minskoff Theatre, home to the popular show "The Lion King," and bullets hit the theater, cracking box office and gift shop windows.
Dozens of police officers surrounded the popular hotel, taping off the valet parking area as tourists and shoppers stopped to watch the commotion. Kathleen Duffy, a spokeswoman for New York City Marriott Hotels, said the shooting took place in a taxi pickup and drop-off area.
The slain man was not immediately identified. Officers suspected him and his partner were working a scam in which they would approach tourists, ask them their names, then write their names on the CDs and demand payment of $10.
The suspect had been wanted for assault in the Bronx, but the officer approached him because he was recognized as an aggressive panhandler, authorities said. There were 27 live rounds left in his gun, which had been reported stolen in Virginia, authorities said.
Duncan Stewart, a Broadway casting director for National Artists Management Co., has a 12th-floor office that overlooks Times Square. He said he was on the phone when he heard three loud pops.
"With the echo, I didn't quite know what it was, but within five minutes, there were cars, police sirens, cops running," he said. "It was chaotic."
Stewart has worked in Times Square for the past three years. He's gotten used to seeing the weird and wacky, but almost never anything violent.
"It's bizarre. It's one thing to see the Naked Cowboy day after day in Times Square, but a shooting is something different altogether," he said.
New York City's crackdown on panhandling began under former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, when "zero-tolerance" policing was instituted to curb quality-of-life offenses. Panhandling, public drinking, public urinating, graffiti and disorderly conduct were all part of the crackdown as a way to bring order to the city by sending the message that no crime would be tolerated.
When Mayor Michael Bloomberg first took office in 2002, one of the first things he did was launch "Operation Clean Sweep," aimed at those same quality-of-life problems. By the end of Bloomberg's first term, the program had had resulted in some 33,000 arrests and 350,000 summonses.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has said the NYPD "will assert the public's right to be left alone by aggressively going after quality-of-life violators."
Associated Press writers Sara Kugler, Colleen Long, Adam Goldman and Chad Roedemeier contributed to this report.

The year-old New York City annex to Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will shut down Jan. 3
The year-old New York City annex to Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will shut down Jan. 3.
A news release issued Thursday by S2BN Entertainment, a partner in the venture, gave no reason for the closing.
Rock hall CEO Terry Stewart tells The Plain Dealer newspaper in Cleveland the decision was made by corporate partners who had backed the $10 million annex in downtown Manhattan.
Backers had hoped to attract up to a half-million visitors annually but have not said what attendance was.
Messages were left Friday for both S2BN Entertainment and rock hall officials.
The collection displayed at the annex includes Bruce Springsteen's 1957 Chevy. The rock hall says some of the artifacts could become part of a traveling show.

Photos from Behind stage of U2 360 Tour 2009 - 2010
Here are some photos I took from behind stage of the U2 360 Tour when it was in the USA in Fall 2009 , they are using the same stage it is a great show
Here is a link to the photos
The seats were a huge disapointment and they shouldnt have been since this is supposed to be the 360 tour and there is this huge bombastic stage set up to accomodate that concept that's using 200 trucks and costing a small fortune every day to maintain. I really felt the band was pandering to the concept of the 360 degrees and it's really too bad because they DID pull it off for a few seconds at the end of one of the first few songs - just for a moment - each member was playing to a different part of the stadium and all were one, it was really remarkable! Then they went and re grouped in the front of the stage and sadly stayed there for most of the rest of the show, which basically amounts to false advertising if you ask me. They sounded great, the music, which matters most, was really tight (as it should be, some of these songs are 20 years old) and Bono's voice I thought was is awesome form. WHY he had to introduce mayor bloomberg is beyond comprehension to me, it was completely annoying. But the big stage, the trek out to new jersey and back, and watching either their asses or the TV Screen, which I can do at home, I could live without all that happily. I will not go to another U2 show unless I get GA floor tix, period.
The BIGGEST surprise for me was MUSE. They completely rocked. I think I will remember their performance longer than U2's to be honest. Then again, there seemed to be 78,998 others people there who probably would disagree with me on that.

Ribeiro repeats as Ultraman champ in Kona
Ribeiro repeats as Ultraman champ
Posted on November 29, 2009.
* WILL BE UPDATED LATER SUNDAY, NOV. 29
Karin Stanton | Hawaii 24/7 Contributing Editor
Alexandre Ribeiro crossed the finish line second Sunday afternoon, but his three-day time total meant he held on to the Ultraman Triathlon World Championship crown.
His good friend and sometime training buddy, Miro Kregar actually had the best run time at 6 hours, 20 minutes and 7 seconds.
However, once officials added up their times for the 6.2-mile swim, 261.4-mile bike and 52.4-mile run, Ribeiro just pipped Kregar, 22:10.22 to 22:39.14.
Third place went to Peter Kotland who ran 6:47.49 and had a total time of 23:04.56.
Fourth place, and the highest place ever for an Australian athlete, was Mike Le Roux at 23:07.04.
The women’s winner has yet to be determined, although the first woman and overall fifth place in the run was Ann Heaslett.
Heaslett, a doctor from Wisconsin, destroyed the old women’s run course record.
It was 7:49, but Heaslett crossed the finish line in 7:12:07.

The statement:
As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore. This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.
The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.
Story continues belowThis incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received.

UPDATE, 1:04 PM: TMZ has obtained photos of Woods' SUV right after the crash. See them here.
UPDATE, 10:59 AM: Woods and his wife are expected to talk with the police today:
Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin, are expected to talk to police for the first time Sunday, breaking a two-day silence that has only fueled speculation about his early morning accident, why he left the house at that hour, where he was going and whether an argument preceded the crash.
Sunday could deliver two bits of information -- what the world's No. 1 golfer has to say about the accident or perhaps the 911 tapes that the Florida Highway Patrol said it would release once authorities have reviewed the call.
Sgt. Kim Montes, the patrol spokeswoman, said she expected troopers to return to Woods' house when they report for duty around 3 p.m. Sunday. She said FHP investigations into minor collisions don't normally drag on for days, but this isn't the first time that one has stretched on.
"It's unusual, but I will say it's happened before," Montes said Sunday. "This is not the first time that we've gone back to get a statement from a driver. ... We try and give the driver every opportunity to tell us their side of the story before we complete our investigation."
Montes has said Woods is not required to give a statement, only his driver's license, insurance and registration of the SUV, which was towed to a private yard with damage to the front and both back-seat windows broken.
She declined to speculate what charges or penalties Woods might be facing.
UPDATE, 4:44 AM: Kim Montes of the Florida Highway Patrol says: "It is unusual that we haven't gotten a statement." Click here for more.
UPDATE, 2:09 AM: Brooks of SportsByBrooks asks 20 questions about the Woods accident:
1. Tiger's official Web site characterized the incident as a "minor car accident," yet his wife told police she needed to smash out the back window of his 2009 Escalade in order to rescue him. Does that sound like a "minor car accident"?2. Why did the Florida Highway Patrol wait 11 1/2 hours to report anything about the incident to the public? The report came, perhaps not coincidentally, after Woods had received treatment and exited an Orlando hospital.
Read the rest of the questions here.
UPDATE, 11/29 12:43 AM: TMZ reports that Tiger Woods told a friend his wife had "gone ghetto" on him. More:
During the phone conversation on Friday, Tiger told his friend, "I have to run to Zales to get a 'Kobe Special.'" The person on the other end of the phone asked Tiger what a "Kobe Special" was. The reply -- "A house on a finger."

UPDATE, 11/28 12:43 AM: TMZ drops a bomb, reporting that Tiger Woods' wounds came from the hands of his wife, not a car accident:
We're told he said his wife had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman. The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up. We're told it was then Woods beat a hasty retreat for his SUV -- but according to our source, Woods says his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away, she struck the vehicle several times with the club.
We're told Woods became "distracted," thought the vehicle was stopped, and looked to see what had happened. At that point the SUV hit the fire hydrant and then hit a tree.

UPDATE, 4:12 PM: Additional details in an AP update:
(AP) Tiger Woods was injured in a car accident early Friday when his car struck a tree near his mansion in a gated waterfront community, authorities said.The Florida Highway Patrol said the 33-year-old PGA star hit the hydrant and a tree after pulling out of his driveway in his 2009 Cadillac sports utility vehicle.
The patrol reported Woods' injuries as serious, though Woods spokesman Glenn Greenspan said the golfer was treated at a hospital and released in good condition.
The patrol said alcohol was not involved, though the accident remains under investigation and charges could be filed. No one else was in the car, patrol spokeswoman Kim Montes said.
Woods' $2.4 million home is part of the exclusive Isleworth subdivision near Orlando, a community set on an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course and a chain of small lakes. The neighborhood, which is fortified with high brick walls and has its own security force, is home to CEOs and other sports stars such as the NBA's Shaquille O'Neal.
The accident happened at 2:25 a.m., though the FHP did not release the accident report until nearly 12 hours later.
Gary Bruhn, mayor of the adjacent community of Windermere, said police from that village were among the first on the accident scene and saw Woods with cuts on his face. Montes said troopers consider the injuries serious if they require more than minor medical attention.
Woods, who has won 82 times around the world and 14 majors, attended the Stanford-Cal football game, where he tossed the coin at the start of the game and was inducted into Stanford's sports Hall of Fame at halftime.
He had traveled to China and Australia earlier in the month, winning the Australian Masters on Nov. 15.
Woods was to host his tournament, the Chevron World Challenge, on Monday at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
He won six times this year after missing eight months recovering from reconstructive surgery on his left knee. Even though he failed to win a major, Woods said he considered this a successful year because he did not know how his knee would respond.
UPDATE, 3:31 PM: CNN is reporting that according to the mayor of Windermere, Florida, Woods has been released from the hospital. A CNN affiliate reports that Woods suffered facial lacerations.
UPDATE, 3:08 PM: MarketWatch reports that Florida's highway patrol says alcohol was not involved.
UPDATE, 3:05 PM: CNBC's Darren Rovell tweets that Woods' agent says Woods "is fine."
EARLIER:
(AP) ORLANDO, Fla. -- Tiger Woods was seriously injured early Friday when he hit a fire hydrant and a tree near his Florida home, authorities said.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the PGA star hit the fire hydrant and tree as he pulled out of his driveway in his 2009 Cadillac sport utility vehicle.
Woods was taken to Health Central Hospital. Officials there did not have record of him as a patient, though the news release said Woods' injuries were serious.
The highway patrol said the crash is still under investigation, and charges are pending. However, the highway patrol said the crash was not alcohol-related.
Woods, 33, owns a home in the exclusive subdivision of Isleworth near Orlando. Orange County property records indicate his home is valued at $2.4 million.
