    Steven Ercolino (41) was shot by a former employee outside the Empire State Building

    http://mydeathspace.com/article/2012...State_Building

    A gunman shot multiple people near the Empire State Building in the Midtown area of Manhattan on Friday morning, according to several news reports.

    New York City's ABC 7 reported that the shooting occurred at Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street around 9 a.m. ET. The New York Post reported that 8 people were wounded, and two people, the shooter and a bystander, died. The incident, the Post said, was the result of a co-worker dispute.

    The Associated Press and others reported that police shot and killed the gunman near the tourist entrance of the Empire State Building.

    Word of the shooting spread rapidly on social media networks.

    "On 5th avenue surrounded by helicopters and police," @CeciliaHalling wrote on Twitter. "I'm very glad I wasn't 20 blocks further down half an hour ago."

    The number of fatalities has not been made official.

    Police cordoned off a one block perimeter around the Empire State Building after the shooting. Around 10 a.m., a lone tourist bus headed down Fifth Avenue, and a guide could be heard over the bus's mic explaining they were nearing the landmark. As police waved the bus to detour down 36th street, the guide was openly mystified. "I don't know what's going on, folks," he said, as the bus turned. By then the bus's passengers were looking up at the sky at a news helicopter floating overhead. Some stood, clutching their cameras.

    Along 35th street, hundreds of people stood photographing the scene with iPhones and iPads. Officers could be seen standing in the middle of 34th street around a scene surrounded by police tape. Television producers roamed the crowd looking for guests. "Was anybody here when this happened? Was anybody here when this happened?" one NBC producer yelled.

    Eyewitnesses told CNN that the gunman was using a rifle or shotgun.

    We'll update this story as more details are known.

    Seriously, congrats for trying to be a news reporter and posting pics of dead people, probably way before their families are even notified. I'm sure you feel awesome about yourself like you are doing some sort of civic duty. You show a total lack of humanity in posting these pics at all, especially this soon after it happened. Guess you wanted the attention of the media that bad. Looks like you got it as I saw NPR posting for you to contact them. Good job. Hope it gets you places.

    Grow up, if the internet is too real for you then stay tuned to Disney Channel. I prefer first person sources as well as editorialized, traditional news. It's called being an adult. And considering this took place in a very soft target for terrorists I want to know EVERYTHING right away to determine if I should get the hell out of Manhattan or not. So again, if you don't like it stay off the internet or turn on parent control or something.

    i dont disagree with the reporting of it.. but the fact that 24 photos were able to be snapped before someone covered the victim with a sheet or something is ridiculous.. come on CPD

    ^agreed @wreckhouse stop you little hissy fit and go back to sheltering yourself from the real world. Its a very fucked up place with fucked up people. People forget that. This image makes me sick but people need to realize that your never safe even walking down the street.

    So was the dead guy in the pictures the former coworker that he shot in the head?

    Edit: Nevermind. Remembered a woman was supposed to be the other one killed.

    I keep hearing different stuff so I changed the description until the identity of the victim is indeed known.

    Damn it, I didn't save those pics from flickr before they were deleted. Booo.

    I have seen the future and I'm fairly relieved to say, it looks nothing like me.

    I saved some of them. I think the pics were of the victim, not the shooter.

    I just right click and "save image as". You have to do it from the photostream page though, because if you open the actual photo page it just gives you the copyright info.

    The alleged shooter, who was killed by police on the scene, has been identified as Jeffrey Johnson, a 53-year-old women's accessories designer who'd been laid off from his job at Hazan Imports. He apparently shot and killed a former coworker before being chased and shot by police; as these photos show, he's said to have been wearing a grey suit.

    The scene's other victims, it's now believed, were likely hit by stray police bullets — as has been pointed out, Johnson's gun only held eight bullets, three of which he used on his former manager. And yet nine people were shot.




    ARE YOU READY FOR SOME LAWSUITS!?!?

    Why is his underwear pulled down in the pics Capn posted? That seems unecessary

    The comments below implied that they had to make sure he wasn't hiding a gun in his butt. Or something. I don't know.

    My real guess is they were looking for any entry points of bullets.

    If you have Win7 you can use the snipping tool.

    According to http://www.businessinsider.com/three...uilding-2012-8 the victim is Steve Ercolino.
