Across the street from the Empire State Building, a woman was shot by three robbers at 45 West 34th Street. The woman, Wendy Ho, had just returned from a bank with $500, and she believes the robbers followed her back to the office building. Jassie Dhillon, who worked down the hall of the 12th floor, opened his office's door and saw Ho laying there, with "blood all over her chest." Ho told rescuers that she gave the robbers her purse, and the Post reports robbers also "pistol-whipped" her, "trying to get her to give up the keys to an office that contained valuable counterfeit designer items" before shooting her.
Ho is at Bellevue hospital in serious but stable condition. She was shot in her arm, but the bullet traveled to her chest. The police are still looking for the three robbers.





Sounds like detectives should be investigating postal services or delivery personnel. Someone who frequents the building and that office has seen enough to know the activities of Ms. Ho.
Sounds like a case for Jet Li.
In this post-9/11 era, I don't understand how those thugs even got into the building. An access card/and or ID is routinely required for entry into Manhattan office buildings.
So, this is what we claimed "New york city is the safest big city" days ago?
Pistol-whipped and then shot? Glad she's alive! Sounds a little more planed then just following from the bank. Hope the building had cameras.
Wai, when one person gets shot in midtown Manhattan and it is the top story on all of the local news stations, violent crime is clearly not running rampant.
Those robbers treated her like she was some cheap Ho.
