At least four people were killed after a gunman opened fire in central Manhattan on Monday, local US time. Those deceased also included a New York Police Department officer. The gunman was later neutralised in police action.
The incident happened when a person fired shots inside a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper housing the NFL headquarters and offices of several major financial firms, including hedge fund giant Blackstone, injuring several people.
Later, the New York City officials said that the suspect was neutralised.
The gunman was identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura, of Nevada, two people briefed on the investigation told the Associated Press.
The report also quoted a spokesperson as saying that the call came in around 6.30 pm. As the incident was reported, a number of ambulances had gathered in the vicinity, and several helicopters hovered above the scene.
The area is home to several five-star business hotels, as well as a number of corporate headquarters, including Colgate Palmolive and KPMG, the auditor.
New York Mayor Eric Adams said in a video message posted on X that there were “multiple injuries" in the shooting, as he expressed his “deepest sympathies" to the family of the officer killed.
Police wrote on X that the scene, around Park Avenue and East 51st Street, had been “contained and the lone shooter is dead," without providing details about the identity of the suspect.
“At this time, the scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralised," police commissioner Jessica Tisch wrote on X.
Earlier the mayor had told New Yorkers that “there is an active shooter investigation taking place in Midtown right now. Please take proper safety precautions if you are in vicinity and do not go outside if you are near Park Avenue and East 51st Street."
