Multiple people shot near Empire State Building in Manhattan, NYPD Confirms
#12
Just saw an update on CNN:

The shooter was a designer of women's accessories at Hazan Imports and a Manhattan resident. He was 56 years old and laid off last year. He shot a 41 year old former co-worker with whom he had a long-standing dispute (claims of harassment) to death and was killed himself by police. Nine others reported wounded including 2 police officers, but none life threatening. Reporter said some of those wounded may have been hit by police fire.

A construction worker followed Johnson after the shooting and alerted police. Johnson was dressed in a business suit and had extra ammo in his briefcase. He used a 45-caliber semi-automatic.
