  2. NYPD commissioner says Jeffrey Johnson, age 53, shot and killed a 41-year-old former co-worker Friday morning. Several others were wounded. Johnson was a former employee at Hazan Imports. Johnson was shot and killed by police at the scene. The wounded are expected to survive. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said during a press conference that some of the wounded may have been hit by bullets fired by police, but it is too soon to tell.

  4. UPDATE: New York Police department releases video of their encounter with Johnson.
  5. I suppose I would be remiss if I didn't carry the NYCBaton the few short blocks down to the scene. Lots of onlookers, news trucks, and law enforcement, of course. Bloomberg scheduled to speak in a few minutes. By @jbwphoto for NYCBaton #nyc #empirestatebuilding #esb
