Jeffrey T. Johnson (1953 - 2012) was an American man who perpetrated the 2012 Empire State Building shooting.

Background[edit]

Johnson was born in Japan in 1953 and moved to the United States when he was 10 months old. He worked for six years at a clothing designer, but was laid off during a downsizing of workers. This caused financial problems and eventually Johnson decided to kill his boss after realising he was going to be evicted.

Shooting[edit]

On Friday, August 24, 2012, at the 33rd Street side of the Empire State Building, Johnson emerged from behind a van, walked over to his former boss Steven Ercolino and shot him dead. He had apparently threatened Ercolino several times before. He put a further four bullets into Ercolino and walked away, however a construction worker alerted two nearby police officers who shot and killed Johnson and injured nine others. None of the bystanders injured suffered life-threatening injuries.
