On July 28, a shooting incident occurred in a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper that houses the NFL headquarters and offices of several major financial firms, including hedge fund giant Blackstone. A gunman opened fire inside the building, injuring multiple people before being "neutralized" by police.

The suspect, a 27-year-old man from Las Vegas, was believed to have died from a self-inflicted injury. Police shared a photo of the suspect entering the building with a rifle, but preliminary checks did not reveal a significant criminal history.
The skyscraper at 345 Park Avenue houses a number of financial firms, as well as the NFL headquarters. A large police presence converged on the area, and the FBI also responded to provide support at the scene.
