Midtown Manhattan Office Building Becomes Scene of Active Shooter Incident

New York City experienced a major active shooter incident on Monday, July 28, 2025, when a gunman opened fire inside a prominent office building in Midtown Manhattan.¹ The building, located at 345 Park Avenue, houses several major financial firms, including Blackstone, as well as the headquarters of the National Football League (NFL).²

Reports indicate that at least six people were shot, including at least one New York City police officer and multiple civilians. The incident began in the building's lobby, with the shooter then moving to other floors before ultimately taking his own life on the 33rd floor. Law enforcement sources confirmed the gunman was armed with a rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest.

A massive police response, including NYPD and FBI personnel, quickly converged on the scene.³ Mayor Eric Adams urged New Yorkers to avoid the vicinity of Park Avenue and East 51st Street and to take proper safety precautions if in the area.⁴ Emergency notification systems warned of significant traffic and mass transit disruptions.

While the immediate threat has been neutralized with the death of the lone shooter, the incident sent shockwaves through the city's busy business district, leading to evacuations and lockdowns as authorities swept the building to ensure no other threats were present. The conditions of the victims were not immediately released, but the rapid and coordinated response from law enforcement brought the chaotic situation under control.
