QuoteNew York City officials say several people have been shot outside the Empire State Building and that the gunman is dead.

City police say three or four civilians have been wounded in the Friday morning shooting and that the shooter is dead.

A fire department spokesman says it received a call about the shooting just after at 9 a.m. Friday and that emergency units were on the scene within minutes.

The spokesman had no information about how many people were wounded or their conditions.

The shooting occurred at 34th Street and Fifth Avenue.

Helicopters are whirling around outside.

QuoteWNBC reported that the shooter appeared to be a disgruntled employee of a business in the Empire State Building, which houses 1,000 businesses.

Hopefully this thread will feature foreigners bitching about our permissive gun laws.  :showoff:

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I was going to do that, but decided against it just in case it was brown people.

Let's take the guns away from all law abiding citizens so only criminals have guns!!!!

Well the city itself doesn't have very permissive gun laws.

Possible, but I'm sure most of the people working in the Empire State Building are white.

And crazy postal workers can't take the day off and buy a small arsenal at a virginia gun show?

Then they'd be bringing guns illegally into the city unless locked away in a case.

Went to P'dox OT but it appears news is too recent for them.
