A gunman armed with an AR-style rifle killed three today and injured at least six others at the Blackstone/NFL building in New York City.

One of the dead is a NYPD officer. The gunman eventually killed himself.

Here’s the news:

 
Here’s more from the NY Post:

A police officer and at least two other people were shot and killed — and several others injured — by a crazed gunman who stormed a swanky Midtown skyscraper early Monday evening — before turning the gun on himself, sources said.

The man barged into the 44-story building — which houses Blackstone and the NFL headquarters — armed with a rifle and opened fire at around 6:30 p.m. during the evening rush, law enforcement sources told The Post.

A witness on the first floor said that “it sounded like a barrage of shots …Like an automatic weapon. Like a high-capacity weapon.”

Chilling images showed the gunman calmly strolling across the Park Ave. skyscraper’s entry plaza with an assault rifle at his side before carrying out the carnage.

Sources told The Post the number of victims are expected to rise and authorities search the skyscraper in the aftermath of the mayhem.

At least one police officer was shot at the scene and died at a hospital. At least two civilians were also struck by gunfire — one of which is also in critical condition, sources said.

The suspect barricaded himself inside and was discovered dead from a gun-inflicted gunshot wound on the 33rd floor, where other victims were being found, sources said.

“At this time, the scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralized,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed in a statement to X.

Another photo obtained by The Post shows the gunman lying, apparently already dead, on the floor of the 33rd floor.

I’m seeing reports that Fox News says the shooter is not from New York. I’ll add more when I get it.

 
UPDATE: It’s being reported on social media that this is the suspect, who is from Las Vegas:

 
UPDATE: The death toll is up to 5, not including the shooter:
