How they died
Deadly force
A longstanding feud between a Rikers Island guard and his neighbor, Calabro, came to a head in a final confrontation in a Bensonhurst barbershop. Calabro was a former firefighter said to have been embittered by the loss of his son on 9/11; he literally came gunning with a semiautomatic pistol for his target, who sustained several bite injuries before shooting Calabro to death.
