At least five people, including a New York City police officer, were shot Monday inside a Midtown Manhattan office building that houses major financial firms and the National Football League, according to the Associated Press.
The Fire Department of New York says emergency crews were called to the Park Avenue office building Monday evening for a report of someone shot. A spokesperson said the call came in around 6:30 p.m. but provided no other details.
The NYPD and Mayor Eric Adams asked the public to avoid the vicinity of East 52 Street between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue.
Police are investigating a possible shooting in Midtown Manhattan, prompting a warning from New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
“New Yorkers: there is an active shooter investigation taking place in Midtown right now,” Adams posted on social media Monday evening. “Please take proper safety precautions if you are in the vicinity and do not go outside if you are near Park Avenue and East 51st Street.”
The FBI is responding to “provide support” at the “active crime scene,” according to an X post from Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
