Eyewitness Account
Kathleen Benanti, an eyewitness, shared a video of the incident on Facebook and informed people about the real-time situation outside her building.
'There is an active shooter outside or near my building (park ave between 53rd & 54th). Park Avenue is a sea of cop cars, fire engines, and ambulances. We're being told to shelter in place and stay away from the windows. I am safe but shaken," she wrote on Facebook, sharing two videos on her timeline showing visuals from the scene.
She later told NBC that the entire sequence of events reminded her of the horrific attacks on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, also known as the 9/11 attacks.
'I had a bit of a ptsd response that came out of the blue. I lived through 9/11, and all the sights/sounds reminded me of that day. I'm ok now," she told the outlet in a message.
Describing the horror, she said, 'Some people came running back inside, saying people were shouting on the street that there was an active shooter."
Benanti said that the safety director issued the alert to shelter in place and stay away from the windows.

Trump offers $50 mn reward for arrest of Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro for drug smuggling
US President Donald Trump has offered $50 million in reward for the arrest of Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro, who is accused of running one of the world's largest drug smuggling networks targeting the United States. The reward is double the bounty once put on Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden's head. read more Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro speaks as he presents a proposal to reform the constitution in a session of the National Assembly in Caracas, Venezuela on February 15, 2025. Reuters File The Trump administration is doubling to $50 million a reward for the arrest of Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro, accusing him of being one of the world's largest narco-traffickers and working with cartels to flood the US with fentanyl-laced cocaine. 'Under President Trump's leadership, Maduro will not escape justice and he will be held accountable for his despicable crimes,' Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday in a video announcing the reward. Maduro was indicted in Manhattan federal court in 2020, during the first Trump presidency, along with several close allies on federal charges of narco-terrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine. At the time, the US offered a $15 million reward for his arrest. That was later raised by the Biden administration to $25 million — the same amount the US offered for the capture of Osama bin Laden following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Despite the big bounty, Maduro remains entrenched after defying the US, the European Union and several Latin American governments who condemned his 2024 reelection as a sham and recognized his opponent as Venezuela's duly elected president. Last month, the Trump administration struck a deal to secure the release of 10 Americans jailed in the capital, Caracas, in exchange for Venezuela getting home scores of migrants deported by the United States to El Salvador under the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Shortly after, the White House reversed course and allowed US oil producer Chevron to resume drilling in Venezuela after it was previously blocked by US sanctions. Bondi said the Justice Department has seized more than $700 million in assets linked to Maduro, including two private jets, and said 7 million tons of seized cocaine had been traced directly to the leftist leader. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil released a statement characterizing the reward as 'pathetic' and accusing Bondi of orchestrating a 'crude political propaganda operation.' 'We're not surprised, coming from whom it comes from. The same one who promised a nonexistent 'secret list' of Epstein and who wallows in scandals for political favors,' Gil said, referring to the backlash Bondi faced after the Justice Department announced last month that a long-rumored 'client list' of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein does not exist. 'Her show is a joke, a desperate distraction from her own misery.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD (This is an agency copy. Except for the headline, the copy has not been edited by Firstpost staff.)

Kapil Sharma Gets Warning From Lawrence Bishnoi Gang: 'Next Karwai Jaldh Hi...'
Last Updated: Shots were fired at comedian and actor Kapil Sharma's cafe in Canada on Thursday morning, the second such incident in a month. Goldy Dhillon of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has allegedly claimed responsibility for the shooting at comedian Kapil Sharma's Kap's Cafe in Surrey, Canada. A Facebook post has surfaced on social media in which Dhillon is seen admitting the gang's role behind attacks at Kapil Sharma's cafe and sending a stern warning to the comedian. 'JAI SHRI RAM, Satshriakal ram sare bhaiyo ko aj jo y kapil sharma k kaps m firing hui iski jimevari, Goldy dhillon, Lawrence bishnoi gang lete h isko hamne call ki thi isko ring nhi Sunai di to karwai krni pdi ab b ring n sunegi to next karwai jaldi hi Mumbai krege"(sic) the post read. This roughly translates to, 'We take responsibility for the firing in Surrey. We had called him, but he did not hear the ring, so we had to take action. If he still does not hear the ring next action will be in Mumbai," the purported post read. However, the Mumbai police is still verifying the authenticity of the Facebook post. What Happened At Kapil Sharma's Canada Cafe? Shots were fired at comedian and actor Kapil Sharma's cafe in Canada on Thursday morning, the second such incident in a month. Kap's Café, located in Surrey, British Columbia, is owned by comedian Kapil Sharma and his wife Ginni Chatrath. A purported video of the attack surfaced on social media in which at least 25 gunshots were heard. The cafe came under a similar attack on July 10, which authorities believe was orchestrated by the Laddi gang linked to the banned Khalistani terrorist outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). When Kapil Sharma Reacted To The Attack At His Cafe Last week, Kapil Sharma, in a collaborative post with his wife, Ginni, shared a video of officials visiting his café as they enjoyed a peaceful meal. However, what caught everyone's attention was the caption of the post, in which Kapil made it clear that they do not support any sort of violence. 'Thank you Mayor Brenda Locke, @surreypoliceservice and all the officials who visited @thekapscafe_ to show their love and support. United we stand against violence. We're truly grateful," the comedian wrote. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
