NYC shooting: What we know about the victims, suspect Shane Tamura

What more do we know about the shooting?
The incident took place after 6pm local time (22:00 GMT) on Monday at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.

Police Commissioner Tisch said surveillance video showed the man exiting a BMW just before 6:30pm carrying an M4 rifle, then marching across a public plaza into the building.

Then he started firing, killing a police officer working a corporate security detail and then hitting a woman who tried to take cover as he sprayed the lobby with gunfire.

The man made his way to the lift and shot a guard at a security desk, and shot another man in the lobby.

He then took the lift to the 33rd-floor offices of the company that owned the building, Rudin Management, and shot dead one person on that floor.

The bloodshed came to an end when the attacker fatally shot himself in the chest.
