Empire State Building shooting victim says NYPD fired 'randomly' into street
Officers injured nine bystanders as they pursued gunman Jeffrey Johnson, who appeared to have just one intended target
Questions have been raised over the New York police department's handling of a shooting near the Empire State Building after armed officers injured nine passers-by as they pursued a gunman who had just shot dead his former boss.
One of those injured by police told the Guardian that officers appeared to fire "randomly" as they confronted Jeffrey Johnson, 58, minutes after a workplace dispute escalated into a chaotic shootout in one of the busiest parts of Manhattan.
