A man who was demoted and then quit his job at a wholesale auto parts store returned there with a gun Tuesday, killing a manager and injuring two other men before shooting himself in the abdomen, authorities said. "He went in and shot the boss first, then shot all the other employees," said Robert Carlson, a mechanic at the nearby Greenburgh Mobil station. Sookhdeo "Frankie" Itwaru, 51, of Mount Vernon, was hired as a driver by ISW Auto Parts in November 1994, authorities said.

A gun battle erupted at dawn Saturday between factions feuding for control of the Seneca Nation of Indians, killing three people. Tensions have been high since Dennis Bowen was elected Seneca president in November and then refused to step down when the tribal council impeached him in February. Council members accused him of refusing to hold meetings, barring opponents from meetings he did hold and kicking two people off the council. They also appointed Karen Bucktooth president.

State police tried to negotiate their way onto a Mohawk Indian settlement where they believe shots were fired at a military helicopter, but Indian leaders insisted Saturday that no outsiders would be allowed to set foot on their land. Both sides patrolled blockades on roads leading into the Ganienkeh Mohawk Territory. State police set up the roadblocks Friday after a Vermont National Guard helicopter on an emergency medical flight was hit by three bullets, forcing it down on Indian land.
