One dead after fire breaks out in NYC shoe store

One person was killed and several others were injured when a fire broke out in a Manhattan shoe store Wednesday morning, officials said.

The blaze erupted around 8:15 a.m. inside a DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse at 213 W. 34th St., where an escalator became fully engulfed in flames — sending smoke billowing into the first and second floor and the interconnected 40-story hotel building, fire officials said. It was not immediately clear which hotel it was.
