Gunman Opens Fire Inside NFL and Blackstone Headquarters In Downtown Manhattan, NYPD Police Officer Among Those Shot

A gunman opened fire inside the skyscraper that houses the investment firm Blackstone and the NFL headquarters.

NYPD has reported that a man wearing a bulletproof vest and wielding an assault rifle opened fire inside the building that houses the NFL and Blackstone headquarters.

Initial reports have revealed three people were shot, including a police officer.

The gunman reportedly committed suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound after he barricaded himself on the 33rd floor of the building.

The New York Post had these details to report on the shooting:

A crazed gunman wearing a bulletproof vest opened fire inside a swanky Midtown skyscraper that houses Blackstone and NFL headquarters Monday, injuring three people, including a cop — before turning the gun on himself, sources said.

At least one police officer was shot at the scene and is in critical condition. Two civilians were also struck by gunfire — one of which is also in critical condition, sources said.

A 21-year-old man was shot in the torso and buttocks and the second victim, 22, was blasted in the armpit and shoulder when bullets flew around 6 a.m. on Brush Avenue near Schley Avenue in Throggs Neck, just outside Ferry Point Park, police said.

The suspect barricaded himself inside and was found dead from a gun-inflicted gunshot wound on the 33rd floor, sources said.

A witness on the first floor said that “it sounded like a barrage of shots …Like an automatic weapon. Like a high-capacity weapon.”

The injured officer was working in the building on a paid detail, sources said.

UPDATE:

Fox News has reported that two officers were shot along with six other civilians:

At least six people were shot Monday, and a police officer was killed when a suspected gunman unleashed a barrage of gunfire inside a midtown Manhattan office building that houses the Blackstone investment firm and the headquarters of the NFL.

Video taken by a FOX 5 NY employee showed several officers carrying a person, and other officers appeared to be tending to a person lying on the ground. The news outlet reported the number of people killed, citing law enforcement sources.

Two police officers were shot, including the one who died, sources told Fox News.

The gunman was armed with a rifle and first opened fire in the lobby of the building on 52nd Street and Park Avenue. He went to another floor and shot people there, sources told Fox News, before going up to the 33rd floor and shooting himself.
