Bail Set in Subway Shootings
A judge ordered Bernhard Goetz held on $50,000 bail today on attempted murder charges after a prosecutor said he told authorities he “intended to kill” the four youths he shot on a subway train.
“He stopped shooting only because he ran out of ammunition,” Assistant Dist. Atty. Susan Braver said in Manhattan Criminal Court. “By his own admission, he intended to kill each one of them.” She said Goetz, 37, gave a videotaped confession after surrendering to police in Concord, N.H., on Monday. He waived an extradition hearing and was returned to New York today.
