bellevue hospital in new york city confirmed to cnn that they have six gunshot victims at their hospital, but they do say that these are non-life-threatening injuries so six of these, at least eight wounded in new york city ended up at bellevue hospital, not too far from this location that we're showing you live right now. but six of them not life-threatening, those injuries presumably either from shrapnel, stray gunfire and again if this was a longarm shot gun the pellets can spray and spray wide and reach a lot of people in the kind of critical mass new york city has when it comes to population, this was 9:00 in the morning, this was rush hour. all of those tourists, all of those people like rebecca fox heading to work at 9:00 a.m., couldn't be more crowded on the streets of new york city and to that end as well, the empire state building itself is releasing a statement now, i want to let you no he what they've said about this incident, "the new york city police department is currently concluding an incident which took place in front of the empire state building this morning." goes on
