According to US media reports, at least four people have been killed in a shooting that occurred inside a Midtown Manhattan office complex, which houses the National Football League’s headquarters.
Police arrived at the scene on Monday at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan at around 6 p.m. local time (22:00 GMT), according to local media reports.
According to CNN, the suspected shooter, a Las Vegas resident who was initially identified as 27, was also discovered dead at the scene. Multiple law enforcement sources cited multiple sources who claimed the US network believes he died from a self-inflicted injury.
The shooter opened fire inside the skyscraper while wearing a bullet-resistant vest and an AR-style rifle, according to unnamed police sources, according to The New York Post. Possibly on the 32nd floor, he had reportedly barricaded himself inside the building.
According to CNN, the suspect was seen entering the building with the rifle in a photo. According to the report, preliminary background checks of the suspect did not reveal any significant criminal history, citing officials.
Jessica Tisch, the commissioner of the New York Police Department, claimed the situation had been “contained” and that the “lone shooter has been neutralized.”
In a video message posted on X, New York Mayor Eric Adams claimed that the shooting had caused “multiple injuries.”
The National Football League (NFL) headquarters, Deutsche Bank, KPMG, and the world’s largest hedge fund, are all located in the skyscraper at 345 Park Avenue, which also houses Deutsche Bank and Blackstone, the world’s largest hedge fund. Just a few blocks south of Central Park, it is close to Rockefeller Center.
