Chaos at Midtown Skyscraper: Gunman Opens Fire, Leaving Multiple Casualties

A gunman caused chaos inside a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper, home to the NFL and major financial firms, injuring several and killing some, including a police officer. The suspect has been neutralized, but multiple reports suggest differing death tolls, which remain under investigation.

New York Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed the incident involved a lone shooter, who reportedly wore a bullet-resistant vest and carried an AR-style rifle inside the Park Avenue building, resulting in fatalities and injuries before committing suicide.

The suspect, identified as a 27-year-old from Las Vegas, was captured on security footage entering with the weapon. FBI and law enforcement teams are actively investigating, while the area remains heavily policed. Residents and workers reported hearing the commotion and expressed shock at the scene.
