There were 23 shell casings and 13 bullet fragments recovered from the lobby of 345 Park Avenue and 24 spent shell casings on the 33rd floor, police said.

A New York City police officer and three other people were killed in a shooting in Midtown Manhattan on Monday evening, police confirmed at a late-night news conference.

The last killing of such a scale in the city was during a fast-food restaurant robbery in Queens in 2000. Mass murders of strangers are rare.
