NEW YORK (AP) – Police say some of the nine people who were wounded today when gunfire broke out near New York’s Empire State Building were hit by stray police gunfire. But all are expected to survive.

A man who’d been laid off from his job as a women’s accessories designer shot and killed a former co-worker, before being killed by police.

The shooting at around 9 a.m. occurred when nearby sidewalks were packed with pedestrians, and merchants were opening their shops.
