The incident happened this morning, in front of the Empire State Building in New York. The 58-year-old shooter - who is now being identified as Jeffrey Johnson - killed a former co-worker of his, left the scene and was tracked down by cops who later shot and killed him.
According to news reports, Johnson was trailed by a construction worker, who alerted two NYPD officers. As they approached him, he pulled a gun from a black bag and shot at them before the officers returned fire, killing him.
Johnson had been fired last year from Hazan Imports, a women's designer accessories company at 10 W. 33rd St. He shot and killed Steve Ercolino, Hazan's 41-year-old vice president of sales.
