DICKINSON, N.Y. (WWNY) - Tire tracks, an investigator’s gloves, a sign, and a real estate listing are what’s left at the side of State Route 11B where shooting suspect Barry Stewart took his own life in Franklin County on Wednesday.
7 News reporter Keith Benman visited the scene in the town of Dickinson Thursday morning.

The possibility of “gaming the system” in the Holyrood elections has always been present, with all but the SNP and three major Unionist parties primarily utilising it. It is not as easy or risk-free as those supporting Alba would like people to believe. In 2016, the SNP lost around 4% of its list vote to the Greens, allowing them to take four formerly SNP list seats. However, the drop in the SNP vote allowed Unionists to take eight formerly SNP list seats and lost them their majority. The current polling of Alba would suggest they will win no seats but could easily allow the 2016 result to be emulated with the loss of the four remaining SNP list seats to the Unionists. On their head be it should that come to pass.
IF, as Alex Salmond claims, “it’s in the national interest to vote Alba on the list”, (April 7), why is Alba putting up four candidates in each of the Highlands & Islands and South Scotland regions? May 6 is our day of judgement. Indy voters should know the extent that chance will play in the success or failure of all our indy aspirations. The battleground was set by Max the Yes and the claims by Action for Independence that one in four SNP2 votes will rid Scotland of the Tories. Apart from contempt for voters who don’t share our indy views, this claim was simply untrue. If the SNP fail to secure a majority in May, these claims from AFI spokespersons may prove to be Boris Johnson’s ace card.
IT is at times difficult to sort out what is mythology with that that has passed into legend, and of course that that was rubbish when first formulated, and has remained rubbish even though it has been tested on the proving ground of debate. No this is not the introduction to Stephen Fry’s latest book on the classical world of gods, goddesses and intrigue but more the introduction to how some people view Scotland’s chances as an independent nation. For some obscure reason or indeed extreme Stockholm syndrome (perhaps to be renamed Jockholm syndrome), they still try and persevere with the too wee, too poor, too stupid argument.
