<br />N.Y. City Council member killed <br /> <br />. Yellow Pages <br />. Get A Loan <br />. expedia.com <br />. Shopping <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />- <br />- <br /> <br />James Davis, a fOrmer New <br />York police officer, <br />represented Brooklyn on the <br />City Council. <br /> <br />CITY OFFICIALS told NBC News that the council <br />member, James E. Davis, 41, of Brooklyn, died of his <br />wounds at New York University Downtown hospital. <br />NBC affiliate WNBC- TV of <br />New York, citing police sources, said <br />a plainclothes officer shot the <br />gunman on the balcony. He died later <br />at the same hospital. <br />The gunman was sitting in the <br />balcony near Davis when he suddenly <br />opened fire, striking the council <br />member, police sources told The <br />Associated Press. The security officer, who was on the <br />floor of the chamber, shot up at the gunman, striking <br />him five times, the sources said. <br />The gunman, who was not immediately identified, <br />was also described as a political opponent and was able <br />to walk into the building unchecked because of his ties <br />to Davis, the station said, quoting witnesses. <br />A third man was wounded in the shootout, WNBC <br />reported. <br />Davis, who had specialized in criminal justice <br />issues since joining the council in 2001, founded Love <br />Yourself Stop the Violence, a non-profit foundation <br />dedicated to stopping urban violence, in 1991. <br />He was a former New York City police officer and <br />an instructor at the police academy. His official council <br />biography said he was a minister, but it did not say <br />whether he had been formally ordained or in what <br />denomination. <br />Although police said the gunman was dead, subway <br />stations around City Hall were stilI closed, as were the <br />Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. Police were said to be <br />seeking a slim, well-dressed man in a blue suit or <br />blazer. <br /> <br /> <br />http://www.msnbc.com/news/943119.asp <br /> <br />Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br />Monrov <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />7/23/2003 <br />
