NEW YORK—A gunman was shot down by police on the steps of a landmark New York City cathedral Sunday afternoon after he began firing two semiautomatic handguns after a Christmas choral concert, police said.
A detective, a sergeant, and an officer fired 15 rounds after the man started shooting just before 4 p.m. at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, mother church of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, New York Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said.
