The guy drove to his chosen location, double parked his car in front of the building, and then walked about 110 feet across a small interior plaza to the building's doors.

(From Time via Yahoo)
Surveillance video, Police Commish Tisch said, showed that a lone male exited a double-parked black BMW outside the building between 51st and 52nd streets. He carried an M4 assault rifle in his right hand and entered the building’s lobby, where he opened fire on and killed an NYPD officer and a woman who was taking cover.
