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]
