Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway filmed the Devil Wears Prada sequel in New York City on Monday, just blocks away from a deadly mass shooting at a neighboring Midtown Manhattan office building.
The duo, along with costar Stanley Tucci, filmed scenes at 1221 Avenue of the Americas — which is approximately a 15-minute walk from the scene of the tragedy — at least three hours before the shooting occurred.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for the three actors for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Filming has been underway on the upcoming sequel, a follow-up to 2006’s Devil Wears Prada which follows Runway assistant Andrea Sachs working for icy magazine editor Miranda Priestly. Tucci has also returned to his role of Nigel Kipling, Runway’s art director.
Four people — including an officer — were killed after a gunman opened fire inside the skyscraper at 345 Park Avenue on Monday evening.
The gunman was later identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura from Las Vegas, according to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
Tamura opened fire inside the lobby with a rifle outfitted with a silencer at around 6:30 p.m., when about 30 people inside, CNN reported. The firearm also had a scope and strap.

The gunman was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the 33rd floor of the building, where Blackstone has its headquarters.
In an update on X, Commissioner Tisch said the ‘lone shooter has been neutralized’ and the scene is ‘contained.’
Videos shared online showed officers in protective gear entering the building at 365 Park Avenue with their guns drawn.
Another video taken by Fox 5 showed several officers carrying a victim, while others appeared to be tending to a person lying on the ground.
Two people, a man and a woman, were also taken into custody at the scene, according to AMNY.
The woman had a cut on her head and the man allegedly said, ‘Free Palestine, I’m not the active shooter.’
A witness told The New York Post that ‘it sounded like a barrage of shots …Like an automatic weapon. Like a high-capacity weapon.’
Another person told the paper that a ‘guy came in with an assault rifle and started shooting.’
A shocking image showed the victim splayed out on the floor of the office building after he suffered the self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Tamura, the gunman, grew up in Hawaii where he played football in high school.
Sources told NBC News that investigators were probing whether he may have been targeting the NFL offices.
He started the rampage in the lobby of the office building where he first exchanged gunfire with the NYPD Officer Islam, according to CNN.
The scene was shot an approximately 15 minute walk away from the site of the tragedy

Tamura then proceeded up the the 33rd floor where police received calls of shooting. The gunman was then found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
‘It appears that he knew it would be his last stand,’ said CNN chief law enforcement analyst John Miller, a former NYPD deputy commissioner.
‘He fully intended to shoot his way through the lobby and make his way to that target – whatever that might have been.’
A photo of the blood-stained weapon used in the massacre was obtained by DailyMail.com.

KPMG, a financial company that has offices in the building, released a statement that said: ‘Our hearts go out to the victims of this horrific act and their families. We are incredibly grateful for the bravery of building security and law enforcement.’
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said agents are responding to the scene.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she has been briefed on the situation, and New York Attorney General Letitia James said she is ‘praying for our law enforcement and the New Yorkers impacted in the shooting situation this evening in Manhattan.’
NYC Mayor Eric Adams also arrived at the scene and said he would be visiting the hospital.
