ACRAMENTO (CBS13) – The New Year’s Eve celebration in Old Sacramento was violently interrupted by a wild scene on Monday night when five people were shot, including at least two people who died.

The violence erupted in the 1000 block of 2nd Street at the Sports Corner Cafe near Fanny Ann’s Saloon at about 9:38 p.m., according to the Sacramento Police Department. It wasn’t clear if the shootings happened inside or in front of the establishment.

The extent of the injuries for the others shot wasn’t immediately available and no details were provided on what triggered the shooting. Police didn’t provide any suspect information or confirm any arrests, but several witnesses told CBS13 a man was taken into custody.

“They had one person in an ambulance and one person in a cop car,” one woman said.

“I saw the gun in the hand. He was just screaming and shooting,” another woman said.

Some 40,000 people, including lots of families with young children, had gathered in Old Sac for a 9 p.m. fireworks show shortly before the shots rang out. Another fireworks show scheduled for midnight was canceled. A Sacramento Police helicopter circled overhead to announce the midnight cancellation.

Mounted police, patrol cars and Sacramento Fire trucks converged on the scene as thousands of spectators were blocked off from the crime scene.

Witnesses described hearing several shots and then running for cover.

“Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,” one witness said. “It sounded like a Glock.”

Was going to make it just for this one, but lets face it. This isn't going to be the only one this year. If anyone has a less convoluted title suggest it.

What better way to ring in the new year than to celebrate mass shootings?

All shooters convicted in this thread are now deep undercover anti-gun lobbyists.

That's usually the case.

Had a bunch of "shootings" this morning but no gun related deaths here and only one hospital visit but the guy shot himself.

So far.

Had the potential for a mass shooting in San Jose the other day. Police called about a man with an assault rifle, police showed up, he fled, wound up in a stand off where he stripped naked and grabbed a samurai sword from his car instead of the assault rifle that was recovered. Hour and a half later they tossed a flash bang at him then tackled him.

**Waraji** · 2013-01-02 12:53

That man was anticipating the coming Zombie Apocalypse.

**AoE** · 2013-01-02 16:17

Reminds me of that picture with the guy jumping at the car with his pants down.

Why didn't they taze his ass? This seems like the perfect use for a tazer. Tazer, meet naked man. Naked man, tazer.

Tazers don't have the greatest range, so when you got someone waving a sword and only a few feet away from an assault rifle, I don't blame them for wanting to get too close. After about 90 minutes of the guy screaming you will have to fucking kill me, they just finally decided to say fuck it, tossed a flash bang and went rodney king on his naked ass.

NEW YORK A Manhattan couple was facing weapons charges Monday after authorities said they found a substance used to make bombs and papers titled "The Terrorist Encyclopedia" in their Greenwich Village apartment.

Morgan Gliedman, 27, and her 31-year-old boyfriend, Aaron Greene, were arrested on weapons-possession charges Saturday after officers with a search warrant discovered a plastic container with 7 grams of HMTD, a highly explosive white powder used in bomb making, police and prosecutors said.

Also found in the living room were numerous written items containing instructions on the manufacture of explosive materials and bombs, including a collection of pages that had a cover page entitled "The Terrorist Encyclopedia," court papers said.

According to the court papers, chemical precursors to HMTD also were found in the living room.

The find prompted New York police to evacuate three buildings in Greenwich Village Saturday, CBS New York station WCBS-TV reports.

A police spokesman said the NYPD warrant squad went to the home Saturday morning to look for a woman and spotted the white substance in an ashtray, WCBS-TV reports. The substance was removed to a police firing range for analysis.

Police said investigators also found a shotgun and two magazine clips for handguns, WCBS-TV reports.

Greene was held without bail after he appeared in state court in Manhattan on Sunday. Gliedman, who is nine months pregnant, was awaiting an initial court appearance. It was not clear who will represent her in court.

"The whole situation's sad," said attorney Lisa Pelosi, who represented Greene. She declined further comment. He is due back in court Friday.

The New York Post reported in its Monday editions that Gliedman is the daughter of a prominent Manhattan doctor. It described her boyfriend as a Harvard graduate and an Occupy Wall Street activist.

The newspaper said police went to the apartment with a search warrant stemming from a credit card-theft case. It said weapons recovered included a flare launcher, a commercial replica of a grenade launcher, a 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition and nine high-capacity rifle magazines.
