John Bucelli was found in his

The gunman made his escape

Cynical comment:
We don't seem to have too much
luck disposing legally of these
shady characters who haunt the
tenderloins of our big and crowded
cities. But, in the long run, a lot
of them seem to be finished off by
their own disgruntled pals. '
Thus justice, in a back 'alley
sort of way, is done.
