Police have identified the now dead suspect as 53year old, Jeffrey Johnson, who is a women's fashion designer.
Reports are says that Johnson may have been motivated by a workplace dispute. Johnson was laid off about a year ago and returned Friday, blending in wearing a suit and had a brief case as he was going to work, sources are saying. He was noticed, then stopped by security who informed him of his termination.
Stay tuned as this story develops. I just had to get this out just in case you have friends or family that work in or aound the Empire State Building.
Another thing that I've notice with this developing story is that many sources are giving all complete different stories from Mr. Johnson's age, to when he was released from his job, how many people were actually hit, to him being a disgruntle employee, to the police's bullets may have hit innocent bystanders, to the construction worker following him, etc. What is being reported is, nothing but confusion right now, in my ears and eyes!
I refuse to mislead you all and will wait for more sold information as this story grows. What I will add is, "will this tragedy be used as a ponzi-scheme that forces the government to disarm us?" It seems that since more shootings are occurring, that this has been the topic of conversation through the media and government officials.
My words are NOT to be used as "scare-tactics" neither as "fear-mongering," consider it a "food for thought, " and "one to grow on," due to the fact ,that every time a tragedy occurs that involves a shooting, you better believe and it is proven that the media has a field day with gun control laws and the right to bears arms...
