The shooting unfolded around 6:30 p.m. Monday at a Park Avenue high-rise that houses companies including Blackstone and the National Football League. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said that “the scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralized.”
The officer was working an off-duty job as a security officer at the building when he was fatally shot. He is assigned to the Bronx, the New York Daily News reports.
Footage from the scene showed office workers evacuating with their hands raised as officers secured the building. The FDNY confirmed emergency crews responded to reports of a person shot.

The building also includes offices for the Consulate General of Ireland.
The NYPD is expected to release more information as the investigation progresses.
