A gunman has killed at least 12 people after taking dozens hostage in the US state of New York, the governor says.

One suspected gunman was later found dead inside the immigration centre in Binghamton, federal officials told the Associated Press news agency.

The police are reported to have taken two other people from the building in plastic handcuffs.

Many people are reported to have been injured during the shooting, north-west of New York City.

Not again.

what odds the building was a 'gun free zone'...

Your assuming that; they would have carried guns if they had been allowed to, they would have been in a position to use the gun, and that they would have been sucessful in killing him if they had. It's a fallacy to say that a building being a no gun zone resulted in those people dying.

Most massacres in recent years have been commited in gun free zones...

Correlation does not imply causation though, the columbine massacre for example being in a school had nothing to do with it being a gun free zone, a lot of these places are ideal killing zones because of the high density of people.

I'd be interested in a response to my earlier post on your assumptions.
