By wire services
Published December 11, 2005
NEW YORK - A young police officer dying from a bullet to his chest shot two burglars early Saturday, one of them identified as an actor who played a misfit mobster on The Sopranos.
Officer Daniel Enchautegui, 28, died shortly afterward.
One of the wounded suspects was identified as Lillo Brancato Jr., 29, of Yonkers, an actor who got his break in the Robert De Niro-directed film A Bronx Tale in 1993, and played doomed mob wannabe Matt Bevilacqua during the 1999-2000 season of The Sopranos.
The alleged gunman, Steven Armento of Yonkers, was shot four times and was in serious condition. Brancato was shot twice and was in critical condition.
Neo-Nazi group rallies just months after riots
TOLEDO, Ohio - Members of a neo-Nazi group staged a rally at City Hall on Saturday, two months after plans for an earlier march set off a four-hour riot in which a mob attacked businesses and police.
Hundreds of officers stood guard to make sure there was no repeat of the October melee as about 60 white supremacists shouted at counterdemonstrators.
After speaking for an hour, the neo-Nazis were escorted away by police. Authorities said there were few arrests and no violence.
