The Gothamist Newsmap noted a report of a "possible armed man" around 1 p.m. at King and Varick Streets in downtown Manhattan. Various readers tell us that the police are swarming the area over reports of a "pissed off sniper." We heard that one, perhaps two people were on a roof, possibly with a rifle, hence the NYPD helicopters.

About Those Police Choppers Over King and Varick
Fire in West Soho
We heard the fire trucks honk, squawk and blare, but we didn't realize what was going on until Alan of Thousand Robots sent us a dramatic photograph of a fire from what looks like Sixth Avenue and Spring/Charlton/King/Prince vicinity. And now we hear helicopters! Does anyone know what's going on?
Walk Sign Man Escapes!
Joe caught a good picture of our favorite downtown sign-- it's on the corner of Varick and King Street. The sign is for a copy shop, and shows the little guy running towards their store. [For more streetsign fun, checkout some Thundercut stencils.]
