US firefighters shot dead at blaze in Webster, New York

Two US volunteer firefighters have been shot dead and two injured while responding to an emergency call in the town of Webster in New York state.

Police said the four were fired upon in an "apparent trap" as they arrived on Monday morning.

The blaze broke out just before 06:00 local time (11:00 GMT) and officers had to evacuate nearby residents in an armoured car.

A gunman has been found dead at the scene, local police say.
Mr Pickering told reporters: "These people get up in the middle of the night to go put out fires; they don't expect to be shot and killed."

I think before talking about banning firearms, very deep research needs to be done on mental illness. Is the increased use of modern tech causing this or does it have something to do with unemployment, questions like these need to be asked.
