1 dead in shooting at Manhattan 7-Eleven, NYPD says
New York City police said a man died after being shot inside a 7-Eleven in Midtown Manhattan on Thursday.
NYPD officers responded just before 10:30 a.m. to reports of a shooting at the convenience store on Eighth Avenue, between 38th Street and 39th, two blocks from Port Authority Bus Terminal.
Police sources said there was a dispute between two men who were not 7-Eleven employees.
The victim, who was in his 40s, was someone who regularly held doors open at the store for customers, a police source said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A woman working at a food cart nearby said she saw people running out of the store during the incident.
Officials said the suspect ran away, and no arrests have been made.
