Their police sources state that he committed suicide after fleeing into the building, which contains the headquarters of the NFL, as well as an investment company called Blackstone. He died on the 33rd floor, where he was presumedly found by law enforcement.
A police officer and civilian were injured by gunfire during the incident. Their immediate conditions are unknown.
According to NFL insider Jeff Darlington, he was told that NFL employees at the NFL HQ, which is located at 345 Park Ave, were given directions to shelter in place.
