Two people died and nine people were wounded in New York City on Friday after a gunman killed a former co-worker outside the Empire State Building. The gunman, Jeffrey Johnson, was shot after pointing his gun at police officers shortly after shooting dead his former colleague, Steven Ercolino. But in firing on Johnson, the police officers also left nine bystanders with gunshot wounds. It was initially claimed Johnson had fired at the officers, but the police later admitted the fatal bullet that killed Ercolino had been Johnson’s last shot.
