    There are reports of multiple people shot outside the Empire State Building.

    FOX 5 News has learned that at least three people have been shot.

    The scene is chaotic as people make their way to work in the heavily trafficked area.

    One person is in police custody.

    FOX 5 News and SkyFoxHD are headed to the scene.

    MyFoxNY.com is updating this story.

    If we have 10 such incidents everyday for a year, I doubt we would change the gun control laws in the US.

    I think this one is a crime, not an act of terror. What I'm hearing from my people at least. No less tragic, however.

    All the more reason to get a gun to protect yourself.

    You folks are aware that nyc is the toughest place in the country when it comes to gun control right? Criminals will always figure out a way around things, so lets try not to detract from the main issue at hand. I have a few friends who work around that area so im pretty worried right now.

    Yup, the best thing to do would be for every person in the US to carry a concealed weapon everywhere, what could possibly go wrong. :grin:

    You are right, if guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.

    Not as old as the inevitable (and dull) gun control arguments these shootings always spawn.

    Make guns illegal. Make everyone carry samurai swords, instead.
