뉴욕에서 총격이라니 무섭군요
오피스메이트가 엠파이어스테이트 빌딩에서 슈팅이래서, 서류보면서 "헤에 무슨 영화인데," 하고 물었더니 그 슈팅이 그 슈팅 아니라고...
회사에서 멀지 않은 거리입니다. 손님이 회사에 들렀는데 피프쓰 애버뉴쪽은 길을 막았다고 하네요. 헬리콥터랑 구급차 소리도 계속 들리고요. 보도를 보면 지난주에 해고당하고 앙심을 품은 직원이라는 얘기도 있어요.
Several people were shot, one of them fatally, by a gunman outside the Empire State Building shortly after 9 a.m. on Friday, according to the police and city officials. The gunman was killed by the police, officials said.
One city official said that eight people were wounded.
“There are two people on site dead, a civilian and the gunman,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to provide information to the media.
The circumstances that led to the shooting were not immediately clear.
Two law enforcement officials said investigators have concluded that the shooting had no connection to terrorism and that it appeared to stem from a domestic dispute. A third said it might have been sparked by a robbery or dispute in the street.
A passerby said that she had just come out of a nearby dentist’s office when she heard a burst of gunfire.
“Suddenly I heard two shots or three shots, boom boom boom, and I saw two guys, they go to the floor,” said the passerby, a woman who would give only her first name, Monica. “I was really afraid.”
Andrew Pellenberg, 23, and a friend, both from New Jersey, were also nearby, thinking about visiting the Empire State Building. “We heard 10 to 15 gunshots,” Mr. Pellenberg said, “and it was all in a 30-second span.”
Several people were treated outside the Empire State Building, at Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. The more seriously wounded were taken to Bellevue Hospital, and others to St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center.
The shooting caused a major traffic backup in the area with surrounding streets closed.
