Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway filmed the Devil Wears Prada sequel in New York City on Monday, just blocks away and hours before a mass shooting at a neighboring Midtown Manhattan office building.
The duo, along with co-star Stanley Tucci, filmed scenes at 1221 Avenue of the Americas, an approximately 15 minute walk from the scene of the tragedy, and at least three hours before the shooting occurred.
Four people – including an officer – were killed after a gunman opened fire inside the skyscraper at 345 Park Avenue at around 6.30pm on Monday.
The gunman was identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura from Las Vegas, according to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
Tamura had a silencer on his rifle when he opened fire inside the lobby at around 6.30pm, with about 30 people inside, according to CNN. The firearm also had a scope and strap.
The gunman was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the 33rd floor of the building, where Blackstone has its headquarters.
In an update on X, Commissioner Tisch said the ‘lone shooter has been neutralized’ and the scene is ‘contained.’
