From Multiple deaths feared in hostage-taking - Crime & courts- msnbc.com:

NBC's Pete Williams cited city and state officials as saying that as many 13 people might have been killed. But Williams cautioned that the information was very preliminary and may change by because police were still searching the building.

At least 41 people were in the American Civic Association building at the time of the shooting, The Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin reported.

The American Civic Association runs an immigration center where they help immigrants and refugees with counseling, resettlement, citizenship, family reunification, interpreters and translators. Most of their clients are Laotian and Veitnamese although Binghamton is quite a diverse area thanks to it's SUNY campus.
