On July 4, 2025, a few minutes before 10 p.m., New York State Troopers working the 4th of July fireworks show in the city of Albany, which had just completed, were dispatched to disturbance nearby on the 300 block of Madison Ave. As Troopers moved toward the scene, word came over the radio of a fire and a shooting. Within seconds of arriving, Troopers moved quickly to enter the burning building at 333 Madison Avenue, clearing out residents located in a basement apartment, and then searching the upper floor where the fire was burning to ensure nobody was left inside. Troopers then entered the attached brownstone next door, rescuing an elderly woman from one apartment, and working with City of Albany, NY Police Department to assist a resident with rescuing a dog from another apartment. Members also assisted the Albany Police with providing emergency medical aide to the victims of the shooting. The building searches were captured by the body-worn cameras of the Troopers who acted quickly during a chaotic scene. We want to thank our Troopers, and the members of the Albany Police and Fire Departments, who set aside their own safety on a regular basis to ensure the safety of others.
