Gunman opens fire in midtown Manhattan skyscraper, killing police officer and injuring others * WorldNetDaily * by WND Staff

A gunman wearing a bulletproof vest stormed a Manhattan skyscraper Monday, opening fire and killing a police officer and injuring at least two others before turning the gun on himself.

Law-enforcement sources told the New York Post the man entered the 44-story office building housing Blackstone and the NFL headquarters armed with a rifle and opened fire at around 6:30 p.m.

At least six people were shot, with at least one reportedly in critical condition.

“FBI New York Field Office management personnel and agents are responding to provide support at the active crime scene in Manhattan,” said FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.

A first-floor witness said “it sounded like a barrage of shots … Like an automatic weapon. Like a high-capacity weapon.”
