WEBSTER, N.Y. – Four volunteer firefighters responding to a pre-dawn house fire were shot Monday morning, two fatally, leading to a shootout in suburban Rochester, N.Y. with the alleged gunman found dead the scene, police said.

A lone gunman fired at the firefighters after they arrived shortly after 5:30 a.m. at the blaze near the Lake Ontario shore, just east of Rochester, Town of Webster Police Chief Gerald Pickering said.

The shooter was found dead after a short pursuit with cops according to Pickering. It was not immediately clear if the gunshot was self-inflicted. The first Webster police officer who arrived on the scene exchanged gunfire with the shooter.

"It appears to be a trap that was set for responders," Pickering said in a late morning press conference.

Of the four volunteer firefighters, two were fatally shot including Tomasz Kaczowka and Mike Chiapperini, who was also a lieutenant and public information officer for the local police department.

Here's a few more details. Another nut who should have been locked up for life after murdering his grandmother.

Here's a little update on the criminally insane nutcase who should have been in prison for beating his grandmother to death. Thanks to the the effed up judicial system who thought it just fine to release him back into civil society where he could do what he liked doing best, killing people.


Upstate NY madman left chilling suicide note before torching town and luring firefighters to death

A homicidal maniac -- bent to “do what I like doing best: killing people" -- left a chilling suicide note before torching his neighborhood and murdering two firefighters, police said today.

Ex-con William Spengler Jr., a loser mama’s boy who once spent 17 years in prison for beating his grandmother to death, penned a murderous three-page missive, telling the world why he turned a quiet lakeside neighborhood into hell on earth.

“I still have to see how much of the neighborhood I can burn down and do what I like doing best: killing people,” Spengler wrote his suicide note, made public by police.

Spengler, 62, set his home -- in the tight-knit, upstate town of Webster, just outside Rochester -- ablaze early yesterday morning to lure volunteer firefighters to the scene. The gutless killer then methodically shot four of those fireman, two fatally, before blowing his brains out.

"There was no motive in the note...there were some ramblings in there, said Webster Police Chief Gerald Pickering told reporters this morning. “There was intelligence information that we obtained that our investigators need to follow up on. It spoke mainly that he intended to burn his neighborhood down and kill as many people as possible."

Four whiskey bottles, filled with gasoline, were found unspent against his house, law enforcement sources told WHEC-TV.

UPSTATE MADMAN SETS BLAZE TO LURE FIREFIGHTERS TO DEATH

Spengler ignited his deadly blaze with a flare gun that was recovered at the scene, the local NBC affiliate reported.

The sadistic killer was found with a pistol, shotgun and semi-automatic AR-15 rifle with 30-shot magazine, police said.

As a convicted felon, Spengler had no legal right to possess guns so cops want to trace those weapons.

A convicted felon can get a gun anytime he wants one. Obama and the other lefties want to come after our guns...not the felons that will have them regardless of the law...

This man was pure evil so I have a bad feeling about his sister.

Why was a murderer walking free? How did a convicted felon get the gun? Maybe there should be a law against that sort of thing. /s.

Those points are logical. That is why they won't be addressed by the powers that be.

Another update on this story:

Body found in burned home of killer of 2 firemen

WEBSTER, N.Y. (AP) — Police have found human remains in the burned-out home of the Webster, N.Y., ex-con who killed two firefighters and believe the victim is the gunman's sister.

Police Chief Gerald Pickering said Tuesday the remains were found in the charred house that 62-year-old William Spengler shared with his 67-year-old sister, Cheryl. A medical examiner will need to determine the identity.

Spengler killed himself as seven houses burned around him. A friend said Spengler hated his sister but police say a motive hasn't been determined.

Several people have paid the price for giving this nutcase his freedom.

I really do detest the liberal do gooders in these kinds of cases. It goes back to WTF's thread on evil. So many of the libs truly don't grasp the concept that some people are just evil.

Mind a small correction, Olivia?: Several people should pay a price for giving this nutcase his freedom
