Firefighters Shot Dead at Upstate NY 'Trap' Two firefighters were shot and killed and two others hospitalized after a gunman targeted them as they responded to a fire he is believed to have set to a home and a car in Webster, N.Y., police said. "It does appear that it was a trap that was set for first responders," Police Chief Gerald L. Pickering said. "Upon arrival all [the firefighters] drew fire, all four were shot on the scene," Pickering said. One was able to flee the scene. The other three were pinned down. The firefighters, all volunteers, continued to fight the blaze that engulfed three other homes and damaged three more on a sleepy street next to Lake Ontario that police described as a quiet vacation community. Police identified the other firefighter killed as Tomasz Kaczowka, who WHAM reported also was a 911 dispatcher. Two surviving firefighters were in the intensive care unit at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y. Both men were awake and breathing on their own after surgery and were in what doctors are calling "guarded condition." Joseph Hofsetter was shot once and sustained an injury to his pelvis and has "a long road to recovery," said Dr. Nicole A. Stassen, a trauma physician. The second firefighter, Theodore Scardino, was shot twice and received injuries to his left shoulder and left lung, as well as a knee. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo released a statement calling the attack a "senseless act of violence" and the first responders "true heroes."
