LOWER MANHATTAN — A massive TV shoot will bring fake gunfire and emergency response vehicles to lower Manhattan Monday.

Filming for new CBS drama "Person of Interest" was scheduled to take over parts of Chambers Street, Centre Street, Elk Street and Lafayette Street from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, the city said.

The simulated gunfire will be near 31 Chambers Street and 60 Centre Street, which house city offices and courts, the city said.

The TV shoot will include actors dressed as law-enforcement officials, but the real NYPD will be on scene as well, the city said in a Notify NYC alert Sunday evening.

"Person of Interest" premiers Sept. 22 and stars Michael Emerson as a billionaire genius who works with a former CIA-agent, played by Jim Caviezel, to predict and stop crimes before they happen.
