Lightning strikes Cobble Hill church kills attorney in Cobble Hill
Assistant Attorney General Richard Schwartz, 61, died after a lightning strike on the Christ Church steeple in Cobble Hill. He was treated at Long Island College Hospital but succumbed to injuries believed to include cardiac arrest. The 326 Clinton Street landmark, undergoing renovations, will take weeks to clear as services move to Kane Street Synagogue.
