NEW YORK — A New York City police officer and a civilian were shot Monday outside a midtown office building that houses the National Football League and some of the country’s top financial firms, police sources told ABC News.

The suspect killed himself after fleeing into the 44-floor-high building, located at 345 Park Avenue, sources told ABC. He died on the 33rd floor of the building, the sources said.

NFL employees were told to shelter in place, ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reported. The NFL is located on levels five through eight.

The Fire Department of New York said emergency crews were called to the Park Avenue office building Monday evening for a report of someone shot. A spokesperson said the call came in around 6:30 p.m. but provided no other details. Police provided no additional information.

Local TV footage showed lines of people evacuating the office building with their hands above their heads. The building includes offices of Blackstone and the consulate general of Ireland.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said in a social media post that agents and other bureau personnel were responding to provide support to what he said was an “active crime scene.”

Mayor Eric Adams posted on social media that there was an “active shooter investigation” in midtown. He urged people to stay indoors and take safety precautions if they’re in the area.

The city’s emergency management alert system warned of traffic delays, road closures and disruptions to public transportation in the area.
