New Yorkers gather in Bryant Park to grief Midtown mass shooting victims, vow ‘we are stronger together’

New Yorkers gathered for a multi-faith prayer vigil at Bryant Park on Tuesday night to honor the four people killed in Monday’s mass shooting at a Midtown office building. The event drew attendees from across the city, including state and city officials, faith leaders, and community representatives.

The shooting occurred Monday evening when a gunman, traveling from Las Vegas, entered a Midtown skyscraper armed with an AR-15 style rifle. The shooter, Shane Tamura, killed four people, including Police Officer Didarul Islam.
