Yesterday, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and other officials gathered for the second anniversary of the deaths of two auxiliary police officers who were killed by a murderous gunman. The anniversary also marked the naming of the corner at Bleecker and Sullivan Streets in the West Village after the two officers, Eugene Marshalik and Nicholas Pekearo. Kelly said, "From this day forward, millions of New Yorkers will be reminded of Nicholas and Eugene and what they stood for."

Greenwich Village Gunman Caught on Tape
The NYPD has revealed more details about last night's horrible shooting the Greenwich Village. The police released a photograph of the gunman, David Garvin (pictured below), who apparently was a regular DeMarco's customer and was asked to leave a few times. Garvin fatally shot DeMarco's employee Alfredo Romero Morales, then shot two auxiliary police officers before being killed by other responding police officers. His roommate worked for DeMarco's, but had been fired a few months ago; a resident said that Garvin was an ex-employee, but that has not been confirmed.
Village Shooting: 4 Dead, Including 2 Auxiliary Cops
Last night, a man carrying two handguns and over 100 rounds of ammunition shot and killed a pizzeria employee in Greenwich Village and fatally shot two unarmed auxiliary police officers, before responding police officers shot him on Bleecker Street. The slain counterman at DeMarco's Pizza is being described as Romero Morales or Alfredo Romaro (we will refer to him as Romaro).
