Information is generally sketchy, however it is being widely reported about a mass shooting in downtown New York that has killed a NYPD police officer working security at a Midtown skyscraper – at least two other civilians were shot.
NEW YORK – A police officer was shot and killed when a crazed gunman wearing a bulletproof vest stormed a swanky Midtown skyscraper Monday, injuring at least two other people — before turning the gun on himself, sources said.
The man entered the 44-story building — which houses Blackstone and the NFL headquarters — armed with a rifle and opened fire at around 6:30 p.m., law enforcement sources told The Post.
At least one police officer was shot at the scene and is in critical condition. Two civilians were also struck by gunfire — one of which is also in critical condition, sources said.
The suspect barricaded himself inside and was found dead from a gun-inflicted gunshot wound on the 33rd floor, sources said. (read more)

It is plain to me Sundance is sticking to his reporting.
Knowing his mantra, truth has no agenda, he put the truth out there early on.
Officials had ample time to delay obfuscate and manipulate. The first press conference was 10:25. Enough time to tighten up the storyline.
Some people found it odd that in the heart of Manhattan at 6:30 the gunman was photographed walking alone on a plaza with an AR at his side drawing no notice.
A bullet proof vest doesn’t protect his head. With the vest and an open display of. A weapon it was clear what his intent was. No cops in the vicinity.
That witness who heard a man shout Free Palestine! and wore keffiya fabric on his face, then claimed he wasn’t the shooter and his female companion who was manhandled on video were memory holed, eh? They were released never to be identified or heard from again?
Who were those people? I’d like to hear more from the witness as well.
I trust Sundance. His information is always truthful and accurate unless he makes a retraction for reasons he will make clear or adds further details.
To bunch a looney into valid genocide concerns is in itself looney. Those that should speak are silent.
Although the perpetrator’s motive has yet to be conclusively determined, the location of the shooting was the #5 target on a list first distributed by “Globalize the Intifada” activists in November 2023.
He was wearing a shirt with the “Palestinian” flag (similar to the flag of Jordan) on it.
The list was posted by WOL Palestine (Within Our Lifetime). The same pro-Hamas organization that “protests” every single week in NYC. They were also heavily involved in the college encampments in April of 2024.
One of the victims in the Manhattan shooting: a senior executive at the investment firm “Blackstone”
The NYPD officer killed in the Midtown Manhattan high-rise shooting has been identified as 36-year-old Didarul Islam.
After reading 2 pages of posts here I have a suggestion.
All who posted their speculations here should go back and read how far off into the wilderness they are.
The killer had a beef with the NFL, had mental problems and drove the BMW from Vegas to NYC to shoot someone at the NFL headquarters. He is not white or middle eastern he is Japanese and Black. He was not wearing a mask or shouting Free Palestine, he was not a Mason.
This is an indictment of speculation on subjects that we don’t have first-hand knowledge of. This “Sky has fallen!” approach has to stop or this site will be ruined.
“God is love, love is blind, therefore Ray Charles is God” logic is tragically becoming more commonplace.
At the heart of narrative control lies the deliberate, rapid release of differing and conflicting information in order to confuse the public and prevent truth from leaking out and becoming known and accepted.
This is the essence of 5GW. Once you learn to see it, you can see it all around you, everywhere.
If you don’t believe Sundance is a completely honest broker of truth, why are you here?
When he changes the info he puts out there on this story I will listen.
But the building also housing Blackstone is completely not relevant.
According to the authorities.
It’s all due to CTE, an old injury, and the NFL.
All determined within 24 hours.
Color me skeptical.
It is NFL related. I can confirm this as DraftKings just posted the toal fatalities over/under ar 8.5 +120.
Floors 1-28 are occupied by Blackstone.

Smh. Barely 12 hours later, we get a flood of info on this guy. A year after DT shooting, we still know next to nothing about Thomas Crooks. Nothing to see here, carry on.
Looks to me like someone is remotely testing and evaluating NYPD tactical response.
Next one will be bigger.
He drove all the way to NYC, and after killing the security guard and spraying the lobby ( 3 killed there), he just accidentally got the wrong floor for the NFL?
What, he didn’t check the lobby directory?
No, he just happened to go straight to the 33rd floor by getting on the elevator with a woman who wasn’t harmed after he Marvel Comics like shot up the lobby, then killed exactly one unnamed executive, and then more or less immediately shot himself, with no demands for a press conference to explain his CTE grievances?

Oh, and his Jason Bourne action movie calm demeanor was because he planned on killing himself.
Uh huh.
Not adding up.
A bullet proof vest is very bulky. It is clear in the photo that the shooter’s “bulk” is not consistent with the bulk of a bullet proof vest.
On a different topic, a retired NY police captain kept referring to the rifle as a “machine gun”… there are no easily discernible features in the photo that would enable that conclusion. Clearly he is another misinformed “official” spouting off about something he is clearly unfamiliar with.
What happened to the phone that was dropped when the cops were taking the woman into custody? Why was she taken into custody?
Almost everything about this “smells”…
