Body Found At UN Headquarters In NYC; Had Been Shot
UNITED NATIONS (AP)--A body was found inside United Nations headquarters on Monday, a U.N. spokesman said, and U.N. security and the New York police department were investigating the matter.
A U.N. spokesman said the person had been shot and that the body was discovered inside the third floor lounge at about 11:30 a.m. EST (1630 GMT). He declined to give any details on the deceased person pending notification of the family.
"The United Nations confirms a tragic shooting death at the U.N.," the spokesman said, speaking on customary condition of anonymity. "We regard it as an isolated incident."
No further information was immediately available.

Many, many possibilities.

Haven't heard anything but likely a diplomatic personnel suicide. It would explain the location and the gun.

A body was found inside United Nations headquarters on MondayA body was found? They make it sound like they found a quarter on the floor or something. How long did it take someone to notice it? Strange.
