Incident
Patrolman George Duggan was shot and killed in an unprovoked attack while on traffic patrol on Albany Post Road and Harriman Road in Irvington.

Several witnesses attempted to chase the man, who then started shooting at them as well. The suspect then went on a crime spree, robbing a store, carjacking a limousine driver, and was killed several days later in a shootout with Harrisburg, Pa., police while attempting to rob a clerk at the Dauphin Hotel. Patrolman Duggan had served with the Irvington Police Department for four years.
