New York: A gunman killed himself after killing 13 people and injuring 4 at an immigration service centre in New York on Friday night.
It's not clear if there were any Indians among the dead and injured. Thirty seven people survived the ordeal that lasted more than four hours.
At around 10 o'clock on Friday night, India time, authorities received a 911 call from a receptionist at the American Civic Association in Binghamton. She said she'd been shot in the stomach and that a man with a handgun also shot and killed another receptionist before proceeding to a classroom where immigrants were taking an exam for US citizenship.
The gunman barricaded the back door of the immigration service center with a car before bursting through the front door and then opening fire.
While the gunman continued to fire, 26 others in the center hid in a boiler room downstairs, where law enforcement found them.
It was unclear how long before the 911call the rampage began, but by the time police arrived, about two minutes later, the shooting had stopped.
