Five dead after New York Midtown shooting: US media
Five people including a police officer and the suspected gunman were dead following a shooting Monday in central Manhattan, US media reported. "Four people, including a New York Police Department officer, were killed in today's shooting in Midtown Manhattan," a law enforcement source told broadcaster CNN, adding that the suspected gunman died from what is believed to be a "self-inflicted injury." Mayor Eric Adams said on X an officer had been "struck down" and expressed his "deepest sympathies" to the family of the officer, although a department spokeswoman said she could neither confirm nor deny an officer had been killed. Police said the scene, around Park Avenue and East 51st Street, had been "contained and the lone shooter is dead," without providing details about the identity of the suspect. "At this time, the scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralized," police commissioner Jessica Tisch wrote on X. Office worker Shad Sakib told AFP that he was packing his things to leave work when a public address announcement warned him and his colleagues to shelter in place. "Everyone was confused with like, 'wait, what's going on?' And then someone finally realized that it's online, that someone walked in with a machine gun," said the witness who wore a grey suit jacket. "He walked right into a building right next door. We saw the photo of him walking through the same area that I walked through to get lunch here. "You would think it won't happen to you, and then it does." - 'Floor by floor' - Another witness, a woman who declined to give her name as she left the vicinity of the shooting, told AFP "I was in the building. He went floor by floor." Witnesses told AFP the incident happened in an office block that is home to the Blackstone investment company. Police officers deployed a drone near Park Avenue at the height of the evening rush-hour as dozens of officers swarmed the area, some carrying long guns and others wearing ballistic vests. A number of ambulances had gathered in the vicinity and several helicopters hovered above the scene. Police repeatedly pushed back journalists and members of the public who gathered to see what was happening in the normally calm but busy area of Midtown Manhattan. The area is home to several five-star business hotels, as well as a number of corporate headquarters, including Colgate Palmolive and auditor KPMG. Earlier the mayor had told New Yorkers that "there is an active shooter investigation taking place in Midtown right now. Please take proper safety precautions if you are in vicinity and do not go outside if you are near Park Avenue and East 51st Street." New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she has been briefed on the shooting.

Brisbane Lions stalwart Dayne Zorko claims he's the target of a ‘witch hunt' after being fined by AFL
Lions veteran Dayne Zorko says he's the target of a 'witch hunt' after being fined for using 'insulting and profane language' towards match officials. Zorko was last Friday slapped with a $3000 fine by the AFL for language directed towards the officials bench in the final quarter of Brisbane's 10-point win over the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba on July 18. Addressing the matter on Tuesday on the SENQ Breakfast program, Zorko said the fine was 'an absolute joke'. 'The witch hunt is back out on me,' he said. 'We'll seek further clarification and hopefully we'll get that. You can't have any frustration in this game anymore. 'You've got to be an absolute robot. If you're not, then you pay the price. (It's) disappointing, but it is what it is.' In sanctioning Zorko, the AFL said it had 'no tolerance for abusive or insulting conduct towards AFL umpires and other match officials'.

At least three people shot in New York office building
At least three people, including an off-duty police officer, have been shot in a New York office building that houses some of the country's top financial firms and the National Football League (NFL), a source has told AP. New York City police converged on a Park Avenue skyscraper in midtown Manhattan after gunshots were reported fired inside the tower, police said. The suspect was identified as Shane Tamura of Nevada, two people briefed on the investigation told AP. Law enforcement officials located identification on Mr Tamura's body, including a concealed carry permit from Las Vegas, the people said. US media outlets, including The New York Post and CNN, citing police sources, reported that the gunman killed himself. New York City police commissioner Jessica Disch said in a post on social media site X that the "lone shooter" had been "neutralised". The Fire Department of New York said emergency crews were called to the Park Avenue office building following a report someone had been shot. A spokesperson said the call came in at about 6:30pm on Monday, local time, but provided no other details. 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 was headed to the hospital to speak with the family and loved ones of those involved. Local TV footage showed lines of people with their hands above their heads evacuating the office building. The building includes offices for Blackstone and the Consulate General of Ireland. FBI deputy director Dan Bongino said in a social media post that agents and other bureau personnel were responding to provide support to what he said was an "active crime scene". The city's emergency management alert system warned of traffic delays, road closures and disruptions to public transportation in the area.
