[新聞] Police kill gunman in shooting outside
[Updated at 12:16 a.m. ET] New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg praised police
and civilians for their quick response to a shooting outside the Empire State
Building on Friday morning, which left two dead and nine injured.
"There is no doubt that the situation would've been even more tragic except
for the extraordinary acts of heroism," Bloomberg said in a media conference.
"New York City is the safest big city in this country but we are not immune
to the national problem of gun violence."

Gunman Jeffrey Johnson, 53, killed one person before he was shot to death
outside the busy tourist destination just after 9 a.m., Police Commissioner
Ray Kelly said. The victim was Johnson's former coworker at Hazan Imports,
where Johnson was a designer of women's accessories until being laid off last
year.
As Johnson attempted to flee the scene, a construction worker across the
street alerted two police officers, who pursued him up West 33rd Street,
Kelly said. As Johnson pulled a .45 caliber gun, the officers opened fire on
him.
Nine others were wounded in the exchange of gunfire outside the Empire State
Building, Kelly said. They are in hospitals.
"Some may have been accidentally shot by police officers," Kelly said.
