Elucidation by David Garvin

David Garvin, 42, walked into De Marco's Pizzeria and Restaurant at 146 West Houston St. at MacDougal Street, disguised with a phony beard, a police source said.

Garvin began talking to the bartender. Suddenly, he fired 15 bullets at the unidentified man - killing him - then ran outside, dropping a black messenger bag filled with 100 rounds of ammunition and another gun, police and witnesses said.

As Garvin ran, he came upon two auxiliary cops on Sullivan Street, north of Bleecker.

Apparently fearing the auxiliary cops, both in uniform, would shoot him, the gunman pulled out a 9 mm semiautomatic and fired a bullet into the head of one of the volunteers. He shot the other in the chest.

The one shot in the head died at the scene. The other died at St. Vincent's Hospital.

They were identified as Nicholas Pekaro, 28, and Eugene Marshalik, an NYU student and Russian immigrant who was two weeks shy of his 20th birthday.

After shooting the officers, the gunman doubled back - running south along Sullivan Street, then turning onto Bleecker, police said.

The Police shot Garvin four or five times he dropped with his face down. There was a gun by his body.

Garvin was pronounced dead at the scene.

I worked with Dave at the Wall Street Journal and was in this film. It was Dave's film. He wrote, produced, and directed it.

Are you SERIOUSLY using the tragedy of two officers being killed to publicize your short film???? Unless you are telling us that this film was made by him, you have his name in your title ONLY to benefit from people searching for his name, which is disgusting

I worked with Dave at the Wall Street Journal and was in this film. It was Dave's film. He wrote, produced, and directed it. People should be able to see where some of his delusions came from and get more information about someone who would commit some a terrible crime.

Dave was an explorer. He ventured too far into the dark side of humanity, unflinchingly. We talked about it. I tried to steer him away into a better reality. What else can you do when he's your brother. I loved him. He killed people. What can be said about that. Police shot him 21 times outside of a tannery, not three or four times as somebody mentioned. I know because I asked the coroner where he was hit. He said, "Everywhere." I had him cremated and sent home to me. He's here now.

If you're going to use the names of two auxiliary police officers, keep your video about them. Furthermore, get your facts straight. The information you provide in your written narrative is, for the most part, incorrect. The order of events, the engagement, the bullets fired are wrong. You could have gone to any single newspaper and come up with a more accurate version of this story, even though most of the stories in the papers were off on one or more points. Yours is much worse.
