1:20Now 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, she heard gunshots.
"Suddenly, the glass door was shaking. It started falling down – boom. And this guy came in the middle of the door, and pointed his gun at me," she said in the statement. "He started shooting around me. I put my hands up and said, 'I'm a cleaning lady. I'm a cleaning lady.'"
Then Nelovic ran, she said in the statement. She found a closet and locked herself inside.
