Shots Fired in NYC City Hall

[PamOKW]

Details are sketchy but shots have been fired on the 2nd floor of City Hall and two people have been hit. Mayor Bloomberg was on the 1st floor and was not hurt.

Happened around 2:00 p.m. -- reporters were cleared from their area on the 2nd floor so that's how they have the info but not the details.

They're not sure how anyone was able to get a gun past security. Also, streets in the area are currently closed off.

Oh dear....

It seems like shootings like this or in domestic situations tend to happen in the heat of the Summer. My Dad says the heat just makes some folks crazy.

The City Council was meeting and the shooter shot at the balcony area. The Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges are closed. There are reports the shooter may have gone into the subway so they are expecting that they may start shutting down the subway system and going car-to-car looking for the shooter.

The City is safe, we have the best security...HOW did this man get in there with a GUN?

That is a good question. How the shooter got the gun past the metal detectors is the first queston that poped into my mind.
