At least four people killed, including an NYPD officer, and another critically wounded in the latest mass shooting in the US.
A lone attacker armed with an assault-style rifle killed four people, including a New York Police Department (NYPD) officer, before fatally shooting himself inside a skyscraper in New York’s Manhattan area, according to the police.
The shooting is still under “active investigation”, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters at a news conference late on Monday. Police said the motive behind the shooting was still unknown.
The rampage happened at the skyscraper – home to the headquarters of the National Football League (NFL) and Blackstone, one of the world’s largest investment firms, among others.
So, who were the victims of the latest mass shooting in the United States? Who was the suspect, and what was his motive?
