“I heard what sounded like gunshots, repetitively,” said 30-year-old Revae Norvell, whose apartment is near the scene, “and that’s when I heard all of the sirens. And it was just a swarm of ambulances, cop cars just one after the other.”

Norvell said she had been working from home when the noise outside her 31st floor Manhattan apartment caught her attention and she headed toward the balcony.
