MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities say a 43-year-old man has died after being wounded by officers during a gunfight at an upstate New York courthouse. A court officer was wounded.

Middletown police say the gunman went to City Court at about 9 a.m. Wednesday and fired at the security officers. They returned fire, hitting him at least once.

A state courts spokesman says the man later died. He identified him as Timothy Mulqueen of Middletown.

Court records show Mulqueen had a pending case involving menacing and other charges after an encounter with Mayor Joseph
DeStefano's daughter at the mayor's home last August.

They say Mulqueen was armed Wednesday with a 12-gauge shotgun. A court officer suffered a graze wound to his arm.

Two other officers were taken to a hospital for treatment for shock.
