The NYPD responded with its most-armed units to take down the gunman, putting the hospital under lockdown as officers helped evacuate people out floor by floor.
After shooting at least three doctors with a rifle, the 45-year-old family medicine doctor was later found dead on an upper floor by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The department confirmed the shooter was deceased and several others were left injured on Friday afternoon, tweeting:
