NYPD Officer and 2 Others Are Shot at Park Avenue Tower in Midtown Manhattan

New York|Officer and 2 Others Are Shot at Investment Giant’s Park Avenue Tower

A police officer and at least two other people were shot Monday in Midtown Manhattan, and the building that houses the offices of the finance giant Blackstone and other firms was locked down, according to law enforcement officials.

The police did not immediately provide details of the shooting, including the condition of the wounded officer and the two other people who were shot. They said the gunman had been killed.

“The scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralized,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a social media post.

Others with offices in the building include the National Football League, JPMorgan Chase, the accounting and financial advisory firm KPMG and the Rudin Management real estate firm. The N.F.L. staff was sheltering, awaiting police clearance to leave.

By about 7 p.m., people began to march out of the building in small groups with their hands raised, Mr. Howe said. A short time later, with police helicopters hovering, a larger group left the building.

Some ran as fast as they could. Others walked, seemingly unfazed by what was going on around them. Nearby buildings that had also been locked down began to empty as well, with many people leaving with their hands raised, presumably to show that they were not armed.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
