Wall St. Broker Slain by Brother
A man walked into a Wall Street brokerage firm this morning and shot dead his brother, who was a broker at the company, police said.
They said the gunman calmly sat on a couch and waited for the police to arrive after shooting Harvey Koch twice in the chest at the offices of Josephthal & Co. Inc, a small brokerage company in New York’s financial district. Koch, 59, was the brother of the gunman, whom police declined to identify further. “We understand it was some kind of family dispute,” said Saul Cohen, a counsel for Josephthal.
