A man wanted in a quadruple slaying shot and wounded seven New York City police officers as they were trying to serve an arrest warrant on him in the South Bronx, police said. None of the officers appeared to be in a life-threatening situation, Police Commissioner Benjamin Ward said. The officers were trying to arrest a man identified only as Larry Davis, Ward said. They were let into a first-floor apartment by a woman, Ward said, and a man in the bedroom “began firing in rapid succession,” perhaps with a shotgun. The man escaped.
