Reporters diving for cover at City Hall.

Shots are coming from second floor.

Channel 7 in NYC reports: helicopters in air, FDR drive shut down, and one bridge....a lockdown

[TomGuy]

I'm getting in the shower. Could you ping me if he's dead?

Can't do...you'll be electrocuted...and that will brown out the entire east coast and Greenland.

Doesn't look good. Paramedics were doing CPR on both victims as they were being loaded into ambulances, according to what I just saw on FOX.

Balcony across from City Hall? Any buildings on the west side of Broadway there with balconies?

[Catspaw]

Two ambulances leaving city hall. Pray for those cops.

ABC radio news: man pulled out handgun on balcony of 2nd floor and fired repeatedly at somebody. Screaming resulted inside building. Police told everybody to get out. 2 police officers injured. Bloomberg in office on first floor, unharmed.

Thanks .. it was confusing what they meant about balcony .. I wasn't sure if it was inside or out

[eyespysomething]

He's upset because of the murdering of his friends, Uday and Queasy.

[Catspaw]

That's what I saw, too, Nita. The EMTs were moving fast.

[PeterPrinciple]

The shots, fired shortly after 2 p.m., sent reporters in the press room diving for cover beneath their desks.

Reminds me of the NRA cartoon I have on the wall:

I wonder what they are thinking?

A) Clearly this person lacks problem solving skills.
B) What we need are more gun control laws
C) I wish I had a gun!

Don't mean to trivilize the situation, but I know what I would be thinking. Besides, it is all about them isn't it.

Paramedics were doing CPR on both victims

Not good. They should be at a hospital in just minutes though.

[ICX]

They've ID'd the shooter as Molly Ivins. It was only a matter of time, i guess.

I have a feeling MSNBC screwed up

I have no idea what is around there

Now they are saying the Manhat. Bridge is also being closed down

[headsonpikes]

Disgruntled smoker, most likely.

[1Old Pro]

Saying suspect was of "LIGHT COMPLEXION". Notice how quick they identify the guy if he's white??? But if he wasn't white then mum's the word.

[kjam22]

Probably a NYC cab driver who is unhappy that we took out Saddam's kids.

Limbaugh: light complexion, blue suit, 12 shots.

[Darksheare]

I'm afraid that 'teh' rubs off.
I'm guilty of it.
I'm afraid I started that one, sorry.

[I still care]

Seriously, I thought the same thing. I was wondering if it was some disgruntled restaurant owner who had been forced out of business.

Not making light of a tragic happening, but people have been shot for a lot less.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Associated Press is saying that one of the people on the stretcher was the shooter and that it was not police who were shot.

Whatever happened, it's bad.

[Semper Paratus]

"LIGHT COMPLEXION".

I'm leaving the story if they next say they're looking for a "White Van".
