the United Nations Headquarters in New York has been cordoned off in front of the building because of an ongoing police operation. A UN spokesman said. According to a local police officer, there was one Man with a gun, possibly a shotgun, right in front of the building. The police locked the area around the UN headquarters on the east bank of Manhattan; a reporter from the German press agency saw dozens of emergency services. First, not yet verified videos on social media showed a man in a red jacket, who walked up and down the fence of the UN building and seemed to point a gun at itself.
