NEW YORK — A man was fatally shot by police on the steps of a landmark New York City cathedral Sunday after he began firing two semiautomatic handguns at the end of a Christmas choral concert, police said.
The gunfire began just before 4 p.m. at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, mother church of the Episcopal Diocese of New York.
A 45-minute concert held on the cathedral steps had just concluded and a crowd of several hundred people was drifting away when the gunman started shooting, sending people running down Amsterdam Avenue screaming and diving to the sidewalk.

Rosedale man fatally shot in Walmart parking lot was attempting to rob another man
Baltimore County police say a 20-year-old Rosedale man who died Sunday was fatally shot in a Walmart parking lot after he attempted to rob someone.
Baltimore County Police spokeswoman Ofc. Jennifer Peach said on Sunday that the department was called to the Golden Ring Shopping Center at 6420 Petrie Way Road in the Rossville area just after 5:20 p.m. for a shooting
When police arrived, Peach said, they found Kumar Jumar Burney suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper body. Peach said Burney, of the 5300 block of King Arthur Circle, was transported with life-threatening injuries to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center where he later died.
Police said Burney arranged a meetup in the parking lot with a man he found on a popular app selling an expensive pair of shoes. During the transaction, police said, Burney attempted to rob the seller, who pulled a handgun, shot Burney once, then called 9-1-1 and remained at the scene.
Responding officers located Burney lying in the parking lot with a gunshot wound, and recovered a loaded handgun from him before he was transported to the hospital.
“Investigators interviewed and released the seller, who is cooperating with the police investigation,” police said in a news release. “Once detectives from the Baltimore County Police Homicide Unit have concluded their investigation the case will be reviewed by the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office.”
