Anika Basu was on the M34 bus and stopped at a stoplight in front of the Empire State Building when gunfire erupted this morning.
"We all heard like a ton of gunshots go off and looked to the left," she exclusively told Business Insider.
FOX New York is tweeted Friday morning three people have been shot outside the Empire State Building.
Basu said she saw three people fall on the sidewalk on the side of the building. She didn't see the shooter.
"There was three people down, there was mass chaos," she said, adding that Fifth Avenue is "completely out of control."
Of those three victims, Basu said one was one of the men who sells tourists passes to go to the top of the building.
"We didn't see the shooter, we didn't see anyone, we just saw the victims," she said.
Basu eventually got off the bus and walked out of the area, saying she was nervous she might also get shot.
One person is reportedly in custody.

Leaving the USA looks better every day.

The shooter was a 58 yr old laid off employee. Was. Past tense.

Hand guns are banned in New York City.

The shooter had a .45ACP loaded with 8 rounds. 11 people were shot. It's been acknowledged that some of the casualties were shot by the police.

Saw that too. One man who was shot had the "it is what it is" attitude.

Futurists predict certain places to become increasingly dangerous. LA is mentioned first, it has all the bad ingredients. One may just relocate within the country.

Johnson was dressed in a suit and tie and carrying a briefcase when he opened fire with a .45 caliber handgun just after 9 a.m. on a crowded street in midtown Manhattan. After Ercolino was dead, Johnson aimed his weapon at police and was killed in a hail of gunfire by officers, the NYPD said.

The New York Fire Department said 8 people were transported to area hospitals for injuries related to the shootings. Many of those injured appear to have been hit by bullets or shrapnel from shots fired by police, Kelly said. All of the injured are expected to survive.
yeah the cops did more damage with their guns.....huzzah for guns

Legally purchased in the sovereign state of Florida in 1991, illegally possessed and used in New York city.....these fucking guns have no respect for state borders.
