Gunman with assault rifle kills one police officer, leaves six others injured, in terrifying broad daylight shooting in NYC

A gunman seen carrying an assault rifle killed one police officer and injured at least six others when he opened fire in broad daylight in the heart of New York City, before he reportedly took his own life.

Security camera photos posted online showed the gunman wearing a sport coat and button-down shirt while carrying the large rifle near a midtown Manhattan office building that houses Blackstone asset management and the NFL on Monday.

He is believed to be a 27-year-old man from Las Vegas, who had a silencer on his massive weapon when he opened fire inside the lobby at around 6.30pm, with approximately 30 people inside, according to CNN.

Officer Didarul Islam, who was working private security at the time, was shot in the back and killed and five others were injured in the attack. Their conditions remain unclear

Meanwhile, the suspect was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the 33rd floor of the building, where Blackstone has its headquarters.

In an update on X, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the 'lone shooter has been neutralized' and the scene is 'contained.'

Videos shared online showed officers in protective gear entering the building at 365 Park Avenue with their guns drawn.

Another video taken by Fox 5 showed several officers carrying a victim, while others appeared to be tending to a person lying on the ground.

I’m glad they clarified that it was an “assault rifle” as opposed to a “tickle rifle” or whatever other rifles exist for the purposes besides shooting someone. /sarc

MASSIVE? Uh, it wasn’t a bazooka or RPG. A lot of places folks can’t hunt with a 223. As far as the “suppressor”, not much point without subsonic ammo and mods to ensure the gun will function using it. GRRRRRRR! I really don’t like these liars.

I thought ‘assault rifles’ were illegal in NY and for sure NYC.

And that he used a silencer. A suppressor would make some noise. (/s)

Same as when dishonest newspapers did it.

Headline on page 1.
Retraction on page 8.

Most folks only remembered the headline. As designed.

Hmmm...
Video of him entering the building clearly shows the perp...

Hard to see his MAGA hat and gear, and he must have blackened his face for disguise purposes... /s
😲

CNN narrative is always a white male even if his parents were from Ethiopia and Samoa. Best to feed the lie out there to the faithful so they can go spew it first 24 hours. Won’t even correct it later. Staff at CNN who does other would be escorted out the building

He could be Black, Middle Eastern, Asian; it’s hard to tell.

Let's stop repeating Leftist propaganda. Black males are one of few groups that are over-represented in mass shootings versus their percentage of population.

Sadly not even a “good” Saturday night in Chicago

Remember when 9 gangsters were murdered and it was a massacre
