Two were killed and nine injured in a shooting that happened near the Empire State Building in New York City on 5th Avenue. Jeffrey Johnson, 58, shot and killed a former coworker just after 9am Friday morning. Johnson shot and killed former co-worker Steve Ercolino, 41. [Rebecca Fox, Bystander]: “I thought there was like, a celebrity sighting, but pretty far from it.” According to a press conference held by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, the killer used a .45-caliber pistol and fired at his victim at close-range. According to witnesses, Ercolino was shot three times, once in the face and twice in the chest. The bystanders included five men and four women, according to a recent update by the NYPD report. Some of the victims were accidentally wounded by police gunshots. None of them were children or elderly. [Michael Bloomberg, Mayor]: “All of those are not seriously wounded and there is no expectation that any of them will do anything other than recover quickly.” Johnson was a former designer at Hazan Imports, a designer for women's accessories. Johnson was laid-off when the company downsized about a year ago. According to NYT Metro Desk in an interview with Johnson's co-worker, Ercolino at one point had an order of protection against Johnson.

The news article does not say that more bystanders were hit by police than by Johnson. Johnson just wanted Ercolino dead. There is more to this than the news or “authorities” are letting on. Not the full story.
