At least five people were killed after a gunman opened fire in central Manhattan on Monday, local US time. Those deceased also included a New York Police Department officer and the gunman, who was neutralised in police action.

The incident happened when a person fired shots inside a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper housing the NFL headquarters and offices of several major financial firms, including hedge fund giant Blackstone, injuring several people.

Later, the New York City officials said that the suspect was neutralised.

New York Mayor Eric Adams said in a video message posted on X that there were “multiple injuries" in the shooting, as he expressed his “deepest sympathies" to the family of the officer killed.

Police wrote on X that the scene, around Park Avenue and East 51st Street, had been “contained and the lone shooter is dead," without providing details about the identity of the suspect.

“At this time, the scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralised," police commissioner Jessica Tisch wrote on X.
