NEW YORK: Five people, including a New York Police Department officer, were killed and several others injured when a gunman opened fire inside a Manhattan office building on Monday evening (local time).
The 27-year-old suspect, identified as Shane Tamura, later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the 33rd floor of the skyscraper, authorities confirmed.
The shooting occurred around 6:30 p.m. during the evening rush hour inside a 44-storey building located at 345 Park Avenue, which houses major firms such as Blackstone, KPMG, Deutsche Bank, and the NFL (National Football League) headquarters.
Surveillance footage captured the gunman approaching the building, dressed in sunglasses and carrying a rifle.
