A gunman opened fire inside a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper housing the NFL headquarters and offices of major financial firms, including Blackstone, injuring several people before the suspect was neutralized. Police did not immediately make details of the shooting public, but a law enforcement source told Reuters that one New York Police Department officer was killed, two civilians were struck by gunfire, and the suspect was believed to be dead. Other news media outlets reported death tolls between four and five, not including the suspect. New York Mayor Eric Adams stated in a video message posted on X that there were “multiple injuries” in the shooting. New York Police Commissioner Jessica Disch said on X that the scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralized. The suspect was tentatively identified as a 27-year-old man from Las Vegas, and preliminary checks of his background did not show a significant criminal history.
At least three individuals were shot in a mid-Manhattan skyscraper, with the suspect being deemed neutralized.
