Report: Suspect who shot East Village couple killed by SWAT team in rural Pennsylvania
The Associated Press has this story:

A career criminal suspected of shooting five people, two of them fatally, inside a suburban home over an insurance fraud scheme was killed by SWAT team members after a six-hour standoff Monday, authorities said.
Since leaving prison last year, Mark Richard Geisenheyner, 51, had been vowing revenge on Paul Shay, one of the victims of a weekend shooting in rural Montgomery County, authorities said.
Geisenheyner broke into Shay’s vacation home late Saturday and said, "Guess you never thought you’d see me again," Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman said, citing the accounts of two survivors. He then shot five people in the head, killing Shay’s nephew and a toddler. Shay, his wife and the toddler’s mother remained in critical condition Monday.
Shay and Geisenheyner knew each other from a 2006 insurance fraud scheme that involved Shay’s home, Ferman said. She could not immediately provide details.

'Daily News' covers East River cat rescue story
Here's the link if you're interested. One note... East Village resident Clotilde Testa and her boyfriend Robert Walker first spotted the cat Friday. Clotilde said that the cat's name will be Leo — he was found on a barge called "Uncle Leo." He was nicknamed Skipper, though she thinks Leo is more fitting. She plans on officially adopting Leo tomorrow.

Sunday afternoon demolition inside the former Superdive space
EV Grieve reader dwg notes the work going on now at 200 Avenue A. There aren't any permits on file for work here via the DOB.
Meanwhile, we understand that the people behind the "art gallery with a full-service restaurant" concept — who have twice appeared before and been rejected by the CB3/SLA committee — are now going directly to the State Liquor Authority for its license. Their hearing with the SLA is on July 12 at 11 a.m. We'll have more on this later.
