Watching this on ABC News Now....not good. They are saying 12 shot.

Fox News just fielded a call from Andrew Block, Director of Communications for the Mayor of Binghampton, who was providing "official details" from the Mayor's Office. After a minute of banter, the Fox News correspondent asked him if the gunman were in communication with law enforcement, Mr. Block replied, The gunman was in communication with Howard Stearn and Baba Booey" before they pulled the plug.

I've heard the phoney caller on other shows, but this was pretty tasteless.

Looks like it is all over now.
