The other two firefighters that were shot are Theodore Scardino and Joseph Hofstetter. They were transported to Strong Memorial Hospital. Doctors at Strong Hospital said Scardino was shot twice, once in the shoulder and once in the knee. Hofsetter was shot in the pelvis.  Both are in guarded condition.
 
A fifth individual, off-duty Greece police officer John Ritter, was injured by shrapnel. He was driving to work and passed the scene when rounds were fired into his car.

Pickering says that Spengler was found dead near the property where the fire began at approximately 11:00 am, and that there is no longer a threat to the area.

Spengler was found with multiple guns, which were not legal for him to possess because of a manslaughter conviction from 1981.  He spent 17 years in prison for the death his grandmother. He killed her with a hammer.
