Sounds like a workplace shooting, seems the guy planned on killing his boss and then shooting himself, but the security guard didn't let him pass so he shot the first person he saw, then committed suicide by cop.

I'm disturbed by two main things, the fact that this shooting is no more deadly then any shooting in any major American city in fact there was a major shooting in chicago that got zero news coverage. Yet this story is headline/breaking news why?..... because it was near the empire state building where "real people" could've gotten hurt.

Also, the fact that if this man was given proper unemployment insurance and welfare he wouldn't have given two flying fucks about losing his crappy retail job. I truly hope the guy who was killed was an asshole teabagger protesting for less gun control and less money for social programs like mental healthcare and welfare.
