> A gunman, who investigators tell CNN was waiting for some time before Thompson’s arrival, opened fire from 20 feet away firing multiple times, striking Thompson.
This from CNN makes it sound like it could possibly be targeted, though there are very few details at this time and sometimes these things are misreported in the immediate aftermath.
NYPD is calling it targeted. The assassin was waiting for him outside the hotel for awhile and had a bike stashed in a nearby alley to escape.
Given New York's notorious problem with bike thefts that doesn't seem like a wise escape plan.
