Easton, NY — A gunman slipped into a softball game late Friday, tossed two hissing gas canisters and then methodically, calmly walked around the field firing, killing 12 people and wounding 58.
It was among the worst mass shootings in American history.
Terrorized spectators, some dragging bloodied bodies, spilled out of the Greenwich Elk's Club complex trying to escape shortly after 7:30 p.m.
Citizens of Greenwich woke up Saturday to news of the tragedy, an eerie echo of a similar massacre 13 years ago in a Denver suburb, at Columbine High School. Once again, a mass shooting was recounted around the world.
“Our hearts are broken,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.
“It is beyond the power of words to fully express our sorrow this morning. New Yorkers have a remarkable ability to support one another in times of crisis. This is one of those times.”
President Donald Trump spoke from Washington, saying he instantly thought about his daughters going to softball games. “We never understand what leads someone to terrorize their fellow human beings like this,” Trump said. “Life is very fragile, and it is precious.”
Jake Davis-Barron, 33, showed up about 15 minutes into the game, he appeared beside the field with three guns, dressed in black and wearing a ballistic helmet, gas mask and body shields.
Davis-Barron surrendered to authorities, who found his Greenwich home booby-trapped with explosives, techno music blasting from his stereo. His home and five houses around it were evacuated.
