Description: First call for this job went out over 1st PCT for an unconfirmed male shot at this location, with numerous additional calls for shots fired. Units arriving transmitted the 10-13 for reported Federal MOS involved/shot. Updated to a possible active shooter, but that was a false report.

Perp entered the building, shot a security guard in the head and proceeded to the elevator. Perp was confronted by employees and committed suicide. Security guard (private contracted, not Federal MOS) was pronounced at the hospital.

Perp was a 68 y/o male from Ft. Lee, NJ. Units are conducting a search of his residence on Harvard Pl now.
