Weird article, the shooter was targeting the NFL, this has nothing to do with Blackstone

What are you talking about? I can see my headline might be confusing, meant to be a play on words, as he has a shady past, but the Blackrock employees were hit and injured, so it did have to do with Blackstone.

The WSJ reports that a Blackstone employee was shot in the lobby.

The WSJ says several Blackstone employees needed hospital treatment.

Fair enough. I wasn't criticizing your title at all, I was more confused that the article made it seem like Blackstone was the target, but halfway through they mentioned that the NFL was the target

I came here to say this. Guy exited on the wrong floor, although they did injure an NFL employee during the shooting.
