NBC News reports that one person was hospitalized as a result of the shooting, and the New York Times reports that there was one fatality among the three shooting victims.

The gunman is still at large.

Police are heavily blocking off the area leading up to Babcock Village, listed online as a retirement home. A young woman drove up just a short time ago very upset – she’s been calling her mother who works in the building and can’t get through to her. We’re working to learn more. https://t.co/UfoGtN9MKo
