After a previous confrontation, Mr. W shoots Mr. J and kills him. Some witnesses say Mr. J. also fired a gun, but if he did, it has not been recovered.

Mr. W is confronted by several police officers. Police say Mr. W ignored orders and fired at officers. Eight officers return fire. Seventy-three rounds worth.

When all the shooting is done, Mr. W. has been hit by two rounds, in chest and hip. In hospital in critical condition. Two police officers are slightly wounded.

Ms. G, who had nothing to do with the incident other than having the bad luck to be nearby at time, is killed by a bullet to the head.

Police say the bullet that struck her was a 9mm, and have ruled out that it was fired by Mr. W. They also say, however, that it cannot be definitively tied to any other weapon. Police spokesman says it may have come from an officer's gun, or perhaps from the as-yet-not-found-gun Mr. J may or may not have had.

Police attribute the lack of definitiveness to the bullet being deformed, and because it came from a gun with polygonal rifling, which "leave little telltale marking on a bullet." At least two police officers used Glocks -- apparently other police officers used guns manufactured by Smith & Wesson or other companies.

Very ugly.
