Joseph Rieger stand by the photo of the dead and injured firefighters during a news conference in Webster, N.Y., Dec. 25, 2012. Authorities say William Spengler, 62, who served 17 years in prison for manslaughter in the 1980 hammer slaying of his grandmother, set his house afire then sprayed bullets at first responders, killing two firefighters and injuring two others. He then killed himself as seven houses burned on a sliver of land along Lake Ontario.
