BROOKFIELD — A well-known gun expert and author was killed and another man injured in a tractor-trailer-car collision Thursday night, according to the Madison County Sheriff’s Office.

James Cirillo, 76, of West Edmeston, was driving west on Welsh Road around 7 p.m. when his vehicle entered Route 8 into the path of an 18-wheel tractor-trailer driven by Christopher Madison, 36, of Richardson Avenue in Utica, deputies said.

The tractor-trailer struck Cirillo’s vehicle on the driver’s side, deputies said.
Cirillo died at the scene. Madison was treated for back injuries at St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Utica, deputies said.

For those who do not know, Jim Cirillo was a firearms expert who used to be part of the NYPD stakeout squad. During his time with that unit, he gained a lot of experience. He passed on that experience to others in books, videos and hands on teaching.

He was one of the few people who taught firearms who could say that he had used what he taught. He had no untested theories for others to find out if it worked or not. Everything he taught was based on the over 250 real gunfights he had been in.
