Police said at least two people had been shot at a New York City hospital and one gunman was dead.

The gunfire broke out at around 2.50pm on Friday inside the Bronx Lebanon hospital in the Bronx borough.

An NYPD spokesman said “there are reports of several people shot” before adding on Twitter that “one shooter is deceased at the hospital”. The NYPD told people to “avoid the area of 1650 Grand Concourse”.

Television images showed the hospital surrounded by police cars and fire trucks. Police could be seen on the roof of the building, at one point, with their guns drawn.

The local ABC affiliate television station reported that two people had been shot, but added there was no word on their condition. The station said both victims were believed to be men, and that police officers were going from floor to floor inside the hospital looking for the suspect.

Bronx Lebanon hospital center describes itself as the largest voluntary, not-for-profit healthcare system in the south and central Bronx. The 120-year-old hospital has nearly 1,000 beds spread across multiple units. Its emergency room is among the busiest in New York City.

The hospital is about a mile and a half north of Yankee Stadium.
