NEW YORK -- A three-story electronic billboard was unveiled Wednesday in New York's Times Square to show a running total of the nation's deaths by gunfire.

Dubbed the 'Deathclock,' the billboard was the brainchild of New Jersey millionaire Robert Brennan, who was in Times Square for the unveiling.

Brennan has said he wants to build similar billboards in other cities, including Los Angeles, Miami, Washington and Newark, N.J.
