If you didn’t think it could happen here, it just did. A federal officer was just shot in front of the Sandra Day O’Connor federal building in a drive by attack.

From article"Washington Street was blocked off from Fourth Avenue to Fifth Avenue as police and firefighters swarmed the scene following the shooting. "

I wonder why firefighters were involved here?  I see no role for them providing security for a federal building.
