“New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said all nine bystanders wounded in Friday’s Empire State Building shooting had been hit with police gunfire, CNN reported Saturday morning.
According to Kelly, of the nine wounded, three suffered gunshot wounds and six were hit by fragments.
Gunfire broke out shortly after 9 a.m. on Friday when a gunman identified as 58-year old Jeffrey Johnson shot and killed former coworker Steve Ercolino near the Empire State Building.
Johnson attempted to flee the scene, but was thwarted after a construction worker who followed him tipped off police officers.
Police approached Johnson who aimed his gun at the officers before police opened fire, killing him on the spot.
The NYPD said officers fired 16 rounds with one officer shooting nine and another seven.”
