FBI agents investigate a shooting in front of the Empire State Building August 24, 2012 on Fifth Avenue in New York. A gunman and one other person were killed and numerous others wounded Friday during a mass shooting at rush hour outside New York’s Empire State Building, police said. Streets around one of the Big Apple’s biggest attractions were closed as police flooded the area. A disgruntled former employee at a women’s apparel shop shot a former co-worker outside the Empire State Building before being killed by police, officials said Friday in the first detailed account of the mayhem. In total, two people were killed and nine wounded, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told a news conference. The shooter was identified as Jeffrey Johnson, 53, and his victim was aged 41, Kelly said.
