A 64-year-old man opens fire in neighboring New York towns, killing 4 people

Four people were killed in separate shootings at a carwash and a barbershop in neighboring upstate New York towns on Wednesday afternoon (March 13, 2013). A manhunt was later underway for a single gunman, who was identified by state police as Kurt Myers, 64, of Mohawk. According to Search Dave, the first shootings took place at John's Barber Shop in the Village of Mohawk, where the gunman opened fire with a shotgun, killing two people and critically wounding the other two. The shooter then drove to Gaffey's Car Wash on Mohawk Street in Herkimer, striking and killing two customers. The killings occurred shortly after a fire was reported at the Mohawk apartment house where Kurt Myers lived.
