4 dead, including off-duty police officer, in Midtown Manhattan shooting: Sources
4 dead, including off-duty police officer, in Midtown Manhattan shooting: Sources A man wearing body armor and carrying a high-powered rifle shot and killed four people, including an off-duty police officer working security in a Midtown Manhattan office building, sources told ABC News. The incident occurred just before 6:30 p.m. on Monday in a building located at 345 Park Ave. and 52nd Street, sources said, which contains the headquarters for the investment company Blackstone and the National Football League, sources said. It is unclear if those companies, or any company in the building, were tied to the shooting. After apparently barricading himself on the 33rd floor, the suspect was found dead from what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, sources added. The motive is currently under investigation, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said. Surveillance footage captured the suspect outside the building, according to sources. Some of the employees inside 345 Park Ave. were advised that the threat "has been resolved," but were asked to only leave the building with a police escort, according to a message sent to employees. A witness inside the Midtown office building at the time of the shooting detailed to ABC News what it was like at the scene as colleagues hid in lockdown, unsure of what was unfolding. "We heard multiple shots go off in quick succession from the first floor, and a lot of us just rushed into the room," Jessica Chen said, adding that she was on the second floor of the building watching a presentation with about 150 other people when the shooting started. "Some went out in the back door, out onto the street. Other people, including me, we ran into the conference room and then eventually barricaded the tables across the doors and just stayed still," Chen said. "I texted my parents 'I love them,'" Chen said. "Nothing can describe that feeling." Chen went on to say that she recalled doing active shooter drills in school and said she often wondered what she would do in this kind of scenario. "It's unfortunate that all Americans could think this through," Chen said. New York City Mayor Eric Adams earlier warned residents to avoid the area amid the "active shooter investigation." The New York City Police Department also urged people to avoid the vicinity of East 52nd Street between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue due to police activity. MORE: 3 dead, several injured in shooting outside casino in Reno: Police "Expect emergency vehicles & delays in the surrounding area," the NYPD said on social media. FBI New York Field Office management personnel and agents responded "to provide support at the active crime scene in Manhattan," Bongino said on X. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she has been briefed on the situation. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

South Korea's Celltrion says tapped to buy US pharma factory to offset tariff risk
SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korean pharmaceutical firm Celltrion said on Tuesday that in an attempt to offset the risk of U.S. tariffs it had become the preferred bidder to acquire a U.S. manufacturing factory from an unnamed global pharmaceutical company. Celltrion's Founder and Chief Executive Seo Jung-jin told a briefing it planned to invest 700 billion won ($503.78 million) in the acquisition and operation of the factory, without giving a breakdown of the figure. The company could make an additional investment ranging from 300 billion won to 700 billion won depending on U.S. tariff policy. The U.S. has been conducting a national security investigation into the pharmaceutical sector and President Donald Trump said earlier this month that pharmaceutical tariffs could be as high as 200%. He expected the tariffs to offer "opportunities" by increasing drug prices and reducing competition, thus improving profitability. Celltrion said it would not disclose further details, including the name of the seller and its location, until the signing of the final agreement, which is expected in early October.

Multiple dead, including suspect, in shooting at New York office building
A gunman killed at least five people, including an off-duty New York City police officer, in a shooting at a Manhattan office building on Monday, sources told AP. The suspect, Shane Tamura of Nevada, died by suicide, two sources said. A shooting at a midtown Manhattan office building on Monday left at least five people dead, including an off-duty New York City police officer, sources told the The Associated Press. The suspect was identified as Shane Tamura, of Nevada, two people briefed on the investigation told the AP. Sources said he fatally shot himself. Law enforcement officials located identification on Tamura's body, including a concealed carry permit from Las Vegas, the people said. The people were not authorized to discuss details of an ongoing investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. The Fire Department of New York said emergency crews were called to the Park Avenue office building around 6:30 p.m. for a report of someone shot. The building houses some of the country's top financial firms and the National Football League. Jessica Chen told ABC News she was watching a presentation with dozens of other people on the second floor when she 'heard multiple shots go off in quick succession from the first floor.' She and others ran into a conference room and barricaded tables against the door. 'We were honestly really, really scared,' she said, adding that she texted her parents to tell them that she loves them. Mayor Eric Adams said multiple people were injured. He posted a clip to social media urging people still inside the office building to stay put because police officers were conducting a floor-by-floor search. The Democrat said he's headed to the hospital to speak with the family and loved ones of those involved. Local TV footage showed lines of people evacuating the office building with their hands above their heads. The building includes offices of Blackstone and the consulate general of Ireland. Some finance workers at an office building down the block were picking up dinner at a corner eatery when they heard a loud noise and saw people running. 'It was like a crowd panic,' said Anna Smith, who joined the workers pouring back into the finance office building. They remained there for about two hours before being told they could leave. The building where the shooting happened is in a busy area of midtown, located a short walk north from Grand Central Terminal and about a block east of St. Patrick's Cathedral. The city's emergency management alert system warned of traffic delays, road closures and disruptions to public transportation in the area. Through late July, New York City is on pace to have its fewest murders and fewest people hurt by gunfire than any year in recent decades. (FRANCE 24 with AP)
