Office workers’ frantic attempts to barricade doors inside the New York building that was the scene of a shooting rampage on Monday have been revealed. A dramatic photo from an employee at investment company Blackstone and sent to ABC7 New York shows office furniture piled against a door in an effort to stop the shooter from entering. The outlet published another photo from inside the office in another report. The shooter did not reach the workers, it added. Suspect Shane Tamura opened fire inside the skyscraper at 345 Park Avenue, armed with an M4 assault-style rifle. He is accused of killing four people, including NYPD officer Didarul Islam, and injuring a fifth person who remains in critical but stable condition. New York Mayor Eric Adams called it a “violent, despicable” act. The suspect fired off shots in the lobby of the building before heading to the elevator, shooting a security guard, and going up to the 33rd floor, where he shot another person before taking his own life.
