1:46Now PlayingOn Monday afternoon, Sebije Nelovic, a cleaner at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown, Manhattan, began her daily sweep of the glassy high-rise building where she has worked for 27 years.
Two hours into her shift, as she was at work on the 33rd floor, came the sound of gunshots.
In a lengthy statement shared by the 32BJ Service Employees International Union on Thursday, 65-year-old Nelovic described coming face-to-face with Shane Devon Tamura, the 27-year-old gunman who authorities say entered the office tower shortly before 6:30 p.m., armed with a high-powered AR-15-style rifle, and killed four people, including an off-duty New York City police officer.
