A Blackstone executive was reportedly among the four people shot and killed by the crazed gunman who shot up a Midtown office building Monday.
The unidentified executive was shot and killed in the lobby of the ritzy Park Avenue office tower when Shane Tamura double-parked his car, walked inside and opened fire with a high-powered rifle, people familiar with the situation told the Wall Street Journal.

Other Blackstone employees are also receiving treatment in the hospital, the paper reported. Their injuries were not immediately clear.
Tamura entered the skyscraper around 6:30 p.m. and first gunned down NYPD officer Didarul Islam — a father of two whose wife is pregnant with their third child.
He then proceeded to spray the lobby with gunfire, fatally shooting a woman hiding behind a pillar and a security guard crouching behind his desk, according to the police.
After gunfire erupted, Blackstone employees shared messages over email and Microsoft teams warning others about the gunman downstairs, an employee told the Journal.
Some employees barricaded themselves in their offices and bathrooms.
Here is the latest on the NYC mass shooting:
After the massacre in the lobby, Tamura allowed a woman to walk out of the elevator unharmed and then headed up to the 33rd floor — home to building own Rudin Properties’ offices.
He began shooting again, killing one man, before walking down a hallway and shooting himself in the chest, police said.
