10 shot in front of Empire State Building
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will speak at 11 a.m. after 10 people were shot outside the Empire State Building Friday morning, leaving two dead, including the suspected gunman.
Police shot the suspect, whose body is still lying outside the building covered in a sheet, witnesses said. A woman was also killed in the shooting, which occurred as people were lining up to gain entry to the busy tourist destination on 34 Street and Fifth Avenue.
The body of the alleged shooter is lying outside the entrance to the Empire State Building after a shooting broke out Friday morning, leaving at least two dead, New York City officials said.
A woman was also killed in the shooting, which occurred as people were lining up to gain entry to the busy tourist destination.
An elevator worker from inside the Empire State Building ran outside and began chasing the alleged shooter, CNN producer Rose Arce said. At some point police, who were apparently inside the building, were alerted and chased and the alleged shooter.
Arce talked to several international tourists who were standing around. “They were completely stunned by what happened and were screaming,” Arce reports.
