ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) — A victim of a Manhattan workplace shooting has links to Ithaca. 

Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff says Julia Hyman graduated in 2020 from the Nolan School of Hotel Administration. Hyman was back on campus earlier this summer for her five-year reunion.

“We are devasted for Julia’s friends and family, including her parents and sister Ali, a 2017 graduate of the College of Human Ecology. We also extend our sympathy to the loved ones of the three other victims, including New York Police Officer Didarul Islam. We extend our deepest condolences to all the families whose loved ones were lost in this senseless act,” Kotlikoff said.

Hyman was among three other people, including a New York cop, allegedly shot dead by a gunman, who then killed himself.

“This tragedy affected many Cornellians, including our faculty and staff who work nearby on Lexington Avenue, some of whom endured a lockdown. I can only imagine the anxiety felt by everyone in the vicinity of this frightening crime scene,” Kotlikoff added.

According to CBS News, the alleged gunman was targeting the NFL office on Park Ave. when he opened fire on Monday evening.
