This all started with US Marshals executing a warrant on a guy, who then proceeded to start a fire. FDNY was called and the guy started shooting. He shot and injured a fireman, who was taken to the hospital with a gunshot to the leg. The fire was apparently put out, but the guy is now barricaded in the basement.

Huge police presence.
