According to someone inside the ESB right now that I know, her coworker had the gun pointed at her right before police took out the shooter.

Word inside ESB is that its a disgruntled employee that works there.
 
Just heard it was an employee that was fired yesterday. He shot and killed his manager. POS this is a sick world we live in.
 
Figured it was some loony who wanted to start some ish because of the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, which is about two weeks away. That's what I'm talking about.

what? how did you get to that conclusion? that doesn't even...never mind..

A cold-blooded killer was gunned down by police Friday morning after he pumped two bullets into a man outside an entrance to the Empire State Building, cops and witnesses said.

Seven other people were wounded when the gunfire erupted shortly after 9 a.m. on the crowded rush hour sidewalks outside the iconic midtown skyscraper.

The shooting was apparently sparked by a dispute between co-workers at a business located inside the Empire State, sources told the Daily News.

Construction worker Chris Ogden was working on a scaffold above the building’s 33rd St. entrance when he watched in disbelief as the gunman — in a suit and carrying a briefcase — opened fire.

“He shot the guy in the head,” said Ogden, 23. “The guy went down. He took a second shot when he was down.”

The well-dressed shooter then “walked down the block, like nothing was happening, real casual,” Ogden said. “We were screaming from the top, ‘It’s the guy in the grey suit!’”

The gunman then turned the corner onto Fifth Ave., where he was shot to death by cops.

“The shot rang out, and everybody started running,” said another witness, a 40-year-old truck driver. “Oh man, there must have been 12 or 13 shots. It was amazing.”

It was unclear if the slain gunman opened fire on the wounded victims, or if they were caught in the crossfire outside the 102-story building.

The wounded were all taken to Bellevue Medical Center, police said.

Be easy, you'll get that unemployment check....and today was friday. The weather here in NY is great, homie should've gone to the beach and relaxed.
 
Sigh....RIP to the innocent lives lost, and hopefully those injured make a full recovery. Seriously I don't understand these people, you got fired so you shoot up innocent citizens?? theres people who have way less in the world than them and these selfish aholes ruin other families over this nonsense. Not to take away from this but in Chicago last night 19 people were injured by gun violence, 13 of them in THIRTY MINUTES...smh man we really need to do better as a collective nation. I don't want my future children growing up in a world shaped by this illogical violence, I just really hope those who are injured pull through with a complete recovery. This has got to stop, guns aren't "cool" and don't make you "hard"....can't control idiots and psychos though
 
lol they really have this guy interviewed on channel 7...the same guy who wanted Lil Wayne to apologize lol.....ehhhh

First of all, you didn't "already" surrender anything. 

Second of all, stop retroactively apologizing like you said something you had not. 

You sounded foolish and got called out on it. 

The last thing we need is more immediate conspiracy without all the facts, which are still coming out.  

You dudes are out here making conclusions on things you don't even fully understand. This JUST happened. Give it some time.

Why don't you back off him a little bit - He just stated a theory - I'm a NYCer - I have a theory the guy is a psychopath who just wants to watch the world burn. Who cares. It's a theory. Maybe he was a disgruntled employee. Maybe he had a personal vendetta. Maybe he wanted to go out like a monster.

Stop being so sensitive and realize this is a message board where people can voice their opinons without the need for others to jump on their back. He even apologized.

Next time show some respect and shut your mouth.

A. I don't care where you're from. This dude tried to link it to 9/11 on 8/24. Not my problem if you're going keep sprouting off then get mad when you get called out on it. It sounds ridiculous to me and I said what it means to me.

B. I don't care what your personal opinion is. You have yours. I have mine. I didn't shut him down anymore than he wanted to be "shut down." I said my piece. He's free to say his. Just don't think you're free to go around linking this to a random date when not only are you off by three-weeks, you're just making primary assumptions on a very fresh event. Its irresponsible. But hey, being irresponsible isn't illegal, nor is it prohibited. Stop acting like you can't be checked on it though. 

C. Showing respect in your eyes is: "Censor yourself and stop posting things I don't like to read!" No. I won't, and I don't have to. 

Stop acting like "oh well thats just his opinion" then when I say my piece its "wow you're jumping on his back" 

Yeah right. Miss me with that. 

The event happened 2 hours ago now everyone is trying to pull out the conspiracy banner. 

SLOW. DOWN.
