A DN story reported that Johnson lived in FL from '83-'92, and bought the gun in '91. The same gun he used to kill Steven Ercolino. I have to wonder, if this guy had never had any conflicts at work or anywhere else, or if he had been a success in his work, would that same gun be left in a shoebox in his closet for the rest of his life.

Btw I don't know if anyone else has noticed the past couple of years, news coverage of murders are getting increasingly graphic. I know that the average citizen is at the ready with whatever electronic picture-taking device they have - them wanting to take that picture is bad enough - but is it necessary for media outlets to display pics of people splayed out on the ground with their blood running down the gutter? It isn't. I saw a picture yesterday someone had taken out of a W 33rd St window showing Mr Ercolino lying dead with bright red running down the sidewalk and there was no blanket covering him yet. I understand pics of a murder scene with blanket-covered victims, but these pics were entirely unnecessary; I still would have read the stories without them.
