Ryan, 27, had recently joined the Tunnel Rifle and Pistol Club, where he practiced regularly. Said Club Manager Andrew White: "He was a very good shot. He hit an 18- by 14-in. target consistently at 100 meters." Last week Ryan used his shooting skill to deadly effect, turning his neighbors into targets in the worst massacre...

And yet there he sits, caressing an acoustic guitar in bedlam, playing Bach and Mozart, Francisco Tarrega and Erik Satie, and one of the reasons he got his back up about it was that the city...

"I got tired of people saying 'You must hate Bret Ellis,' " says McInerney, who decided to hold a party at Manhattan's Tunnel disco to welcome his friend to the city. "There's been no feud between Jay and me," confirms Ellis. "I'm actually a boring person. I work from 11 to 7, then at night Jay calls." And you thought Tad Allagash was a fictional character...
