NEW YORK — Four people, including a New York Po lice Department officer, were killed in today’s shooting in Midtown Manhattan, a law enforcement official told CNN. The shooter, tentatively identified as a 27-year-old from Las Vegas, is also dead from what police believe is a self-inflicted injury. A gunman is believed to be dead after shooting at least one New York Police Department officer and two civilians near a corporate office building in midtown Manhattan Monday evening, multiple law enforcement sources told CNN. The scene is “contained” and the “lone shooter has been neutralized,” NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch said on X. A man with a long rifle was seen walking into the building, according to one source. One civilian shot is in critical condition, according to a law enforcement official. Another civilian and the NYPD officer, who was shot in the back, are both expected to survive, the official told CNN. The NYPD bomb squad is on the scene. The officer shot is from a Bronx precinct and was on a post near the building when the shooting unfolded, according to the official. The FBI is responding to “provide support” at the “active crime scene,” according to an X post from Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
