At least four people dead, including NYPD officer in Midtown Manhattan shooting
The shooter, tentatively identified as a 27-year-old from Las Vegas, is also dead from what police believe is a self-inflicted injury.
This is a breaking update. Below is CNN's previous copy...
A gunman is believed to be dead after shooting at least one New York Police Department officer and two civilians near a corporate office building in midtown Manhattan Monday evening, multiple law enforcement sources told CNN.
The scene is 'contained' and the 'lone shooter has been neutralized,' NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch said on X.
A man with a long rifle was seen walking into the building, according to one source.
One civilian shot is in critical condition, according to a law enforcement official. Another civilian and the NYPD officer, who was shot in the back, are both expected to survive, the official told CNN. The NYPD bomb squad is on the scene.
The officer shot is from a Bronx precinct and was on a post near the building when the shooting unfolded, according to the official.
The FBI is responding to 'provide support' at the 'active crime scene,' according to an X post from Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams confirmed 'there is an active shooter investigation taking place in Midtown right now' in a post on X. '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,' he wrote.
Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a post on X she had been briefed on the shooting and urged people to avoid the area.
Video shows heavy law enforcement presence around the building and officers running inside. The police department told CNN the scene is still 'very active.'
The 634-foot skyscraper, located at 345 Park Avenue, includes corporate offices for the National Football League and Blackstone. The building occupies an entire city block and is one of 41 New York City buildings with its own zip code.
New York City's emergency management system warned of 'traffic delays, road closures, mass transit disruptions & emergency personnel' in the area in a post on X.
CNN has reached out to the NYPD for more information.

Authorities investigating ex-Trump prosecutor Jack Smith for alleged illegal political activity

Scott Applewhite, File) BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — U.S. Federal officials have opened an investigation into Jack Smith, the former special counsel who investigated then-candidate Donald Trump before his reelection to a second term. The Office of Special Counsel, an independent federal agency, on Saturday confirmed the investigation after reporting by other news organizations. Smith was named special counsel to investigate Trump in by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland in November 2022. Trump and his Republican allies, including Sen. Tom Cotton, have — without offering evidence of wrongdoing— accused Smith of violating the Hatch Act, a federal law that bans certain public officials from engaging in political activity. Smith prosecuted two federal cases against Republican candidate Trump in the lead-up to the November 2024 presidential election. Smith ultimately dropped the cases — neither one had gone to trial — after Trump was reelected, which would have shielded him from prosecution according to longstanding Justice Department practice. Smith then subsequently resigned as special counsel. Cotton, R-Ark., on Wednesday asked the Office of Special Counsel to investigate Smith, alleging that his conduct was designed to help then-President Joe Biden and his vice president, Kamala Harris, both Democrats. Biden had dropped his own bid for reelection following his disastrous performance in a campaign debate against Trump and tapped Harris to succeed him on the ticket. Trump won the election. The New York Post was first to report on the investigation into Smith. Darlene Superville, The Associated Press
