Shooter with assault rifle kills police officer and leaves six others injured

A gunman with an assault rifle opened fire in midtown Manhattan, injuring a police officer and at least six others on July 28, 2025.

The shooter, who wore a sport coat and had a silencer, began shooting around 6:30 PM inside a building housing Blackstone and the NFL, where around 30 people were present. He was later found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the 33rd floor.

At least one police officer and a civilian are in critical condition. Two individuals were taken into custody nearby, but their connection to the shooter remains unclear. Law enforcement has urged the public to stay away from the area. New York officials have been briefed and are monitoring the situation.
