NYPD officer killed, among 5 shot in NYC shooting; gunman dead at Blackstone building By Louis Casiano, Alexis McAdams 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 off-duty officer was working security in the building. Four other people were also killed and the shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. Surveillance images captured the gunman wearing sunglasses and holding what appeared to be a rifle outside the building.
