A mass shooting in New York City on Monday night has become the deadliest shooting incident the city has seen in 25 years, resulting in five deaths, including the shooter himself. The incident took place in a building that houses several prominent organizations, including the NFL and Blackstone headquarters.
According to Politico, the gunman, who traveled from Las Vegas to New York City to carry out the attack, used an M4 rifle in the shooting. Among the victims were Blackstone employee Wesley LePatner and New York police officer Didarul Islam. The heroic actions of the common people during mass shooting events often become part of the larger story, as seen when Trump rally shooting victim Corey Comperatore shielded his family during the attack.
