And the full with the billfold raft of New York police department's investigative techniques and expertise on display here in Richmond Hill as they look into the deep sales last night they quickly figured out sort of what happened and when it happened. But today the focus of attention will be on how this happened and why. This happened take a look at some video from news copter seven this is from late this morning. And what immediately catches your attention is the number of bullet casings on the floor they are here in Queens as many we've learned is eight responding officers opened fire unleashing a barrage of 48 gun shots.
