Just after 9 am, in New York City, a man went into the offices where had formerly worked, and shot a former coworker three times, killing him.

The shooter then went out onto the street, putting his gun in a bag, trying to get away.

When he was confronted by police, in front of the Empire State Building, he pulled out his gun, then he and two officers had a short shoot out.

When the bullets stopped, the shooter was dead and nine bystanders had been shot. Four of the injured are in serious condition, and five are minor condition, according to Mayor Bloomberg. The victims were taken to Bellevue Hospital and New York Presbyterian, all of them are expected to recover.
