CAPE VINCENT, N.Y. -- The man accused of killing a volunteer EMT in Cape Vincent has been charged with second degree murder. Christopher Burke is accused of shooting and killing Mark Davis after Davis and two other paramedics came to his home on Esseltyne Street shortly before midnight Friday night to try and provide medical assistance.

Police described what they believe happened at a press conference Saturday morning.

"The suspect was being treated in the living room of the residence. He fled into the bedroom. They already knew that there were weapons in

the house. They heard the action of a weapon being activated, and at that time the EMTs tried to retreat from the residence," said Mark Lincoln with the State Police.

Police say Burke fired two shots, one of which hit Davis. Davis was later pronounced dead at Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown.

At the arraignment, Burke said he had no idea what was going on at the time of the shooting. He is being held at the Jefferson County Jail without bail.
