A deranged 68-year-old veteran walked into a SoHo federal building and opened fire — killing a security guard inside — before taking his own life Friday evening, officials said.
The horrific scene unfolded about 5 p.m. when Kevin Downing, a realtor from Fort Lee, N.J. stepped into the W. Houston St. entrance of the Varick St. federal building armed with two .38 caliber revolvers, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the shooting said.
Downing was just steps away from a security checkpoint when his victim — 53-year-old Idrissa Camara, who was working an overtime shift— turned to greet him.
