2 firefighters killed, residents being searched and evacuated9:56 AM, Dec 24, 2012
At least two Webster firefighters are dead, and three houses on Lake Road continue to burn after a gunman open fired on firefighters who responded to an early morning fire.
There are no active shooters at the scene, according to a news conference held by Sheriff Patrick OFlynn.
The fire broke out at 5:45 a.m. at 191 Lake Road on the Irondequoit Bay side of the street.
The gunman open fired on the first firefighters to respond, striking one in the backside. Strong Memorial Hospital confirmed another firefighter was being treated, but it is not clear if he was shot or injured in the fire.

P.S. It was an assault rifle.
Merry fucking Christmas.
