Drunken officer fires at Lyons at city station
Burly John MacIntire, a police officer under suspension, stormed the Twenty third district station house with two pistols, forced officers from the room, and fired dozens of shots as Lieutenant Edward M. Lyons, assisted by Officers Hart and Carpenter, cornered him in the roll room and cellar. Lyons returned fire, grazed MacIntire’s left arm, and he was captured and taken to the German Hospital. MacIntire, a former Fire Department member and political actor, has a history of drunkenness and discipline, and his arrest follows threats to seize the station and kill Lyons.
