August 31, 2012
On August 25, a disgruntled former apparel designer was killed in a
hail of police gunfire in front of the Empire State Building, NYC, after he
shot and killed a co-worker and engaged in a gunbattle with two
officers, authorities said.
Police officers fired a
total of 16 rounds; one officer shot nine while another one shot seven,
the New York Police Department said. The violence erupted just
as visitors began to queue up to ascend the famous New York skyscraper
in one of Manhattan's busiest neighborhoods.
